The game is set some time after the events of the 2016 film. The four protagonists from the film are only mentioned though, as they are called away to Washington to save the President from ghost assassins. The game instead focuses on a group of four unnamed protagonists who have to save New York from Rowan North, the villain from the film, as he returns to create havoc.
