Series Synopsis
Lain Iwakura (voiced by Kaori Shimizu) lives an uneventful and unremarkable life. She goes to school. She talks with friends. She goes home to eat dinner with her family. Day in, day out.
Then one day, an unsettling chain of emails make their way through Lain's school. These messages seem to be a bad joke since the sender had committed suicide. Lain has no real opinion on the matter. That is until she receives one of these emails. What it reads goes against the accepted story.
The message tells Lain the sender did not die. They only gave up their physical body. Their consciousness is still very much alive. As it exists in the Wired. The virtual world.
This entices Lain and she beings to delve into the Wired's inner workings. The deeper she goes and the more she sees, the less she understands.
Leaving Lain with one question. Is the virtual reality in fact true reality?
