Synopsis:

In 2034, Section 9 navigates a complex landscape of escalating incidents orchestrated by a mysterious hacker known as the Puppeteer. With Togusa now at the helm of an expanded team, the unit grapples with intricately connected cases that hint at a meticulously planned scheme. Amidst these investigations, Batou's pursuit leads him to a cryptic encounter with Motoko Kusanagi, who warns him to cease his inquiries regarding the Solid State Society. This encounter plants a seed of doubt: could Motoko be involved in the Puppeteer’s machinations? The series explores themes of digital identity and societal control as Section 9 delves deeper into the secrets surrounding the Solid State Society and the true motives behind the Puppeteer's actions, raising questions about loyalty, deception, and the blurred lines between reality and virtuality.
