A fourteen-year-old girl named Lain Iwakura receives an email from a classmate who threw herself off a school roof a week earlier. The dead girl writes that she only abandoned her body, not the Wired — the global network the show treats as a quasi-physical second world. Lain follows the message in and finds the Wired waiting for her, increasingly responsive to who she is and willing to behave like she always existed there. The series follows her dual life — the lonely middle-school girl in Tokyo and the increasingly large figure she casts in the Wired — and the question of which version is actually the original.
