Summary:

Knights is a super hacker group that has large effects in the wired. No one knows who the members are, but they control information and sometimes develop and distribute illegal information equipment. When Lain metamorphizes her physical self in to the wired to search for an answer to incidents of kids commiting suicide she finds that the Knights are behind it. One day, a group of men in black suits contact Lain. They ask "Are those people you live with really your parents?" "Are you Lain of the wired?" and "Who are you really?"
