Having discovered the true nature of the Sibyl System, Tsunemori has made the decision to obey the system, placing her faith in both the legal order and humanity. She serves as part of a new police section where she conducts her daily life by confronting various criminals. In the year 2113, society utilizes brain scans to measure an individual's potential for violence and determine how likely they are to commit a crime. Those who fail these scans are subject to being apprehended or killed. While Tsunemori continues her work within this framework, she remains unaware that a monster is approaching. This individual threatens to shake the Sibyl System to its very core. The series is a Japanese cyberpunk psychological thriller anime produced by Production I.G. and written by Gen Urobuchi. As Tsunemori navigates her duties in the new police section, the stability of the existing social order faces an imminent and profound challenge from an emerging threat.
