Season One
Andrew Miles Gilbert (aka Agil) travels to America to meet his wife Kathy for their fifth anniversary. But after surviving members of the SAO killing guild known as Laughing Coffin pursue him, Andrew must protect himself and his wife with the help of a grey hat hacker named Youta, who wears a modified Augma headset that allows him to access every piece of technology around him.

Season Two
After dismantling the Laughing Coffin, Youta is arrested for cyber related crimes. Youta is then freed by the Ministry of Internal Affair's Telecommunications Bureau and must work for them in order to stop a renegade hacker named Genesis (Ki Hong Li), a cyber criminal who controls two twin A.I.s to commit his crimes.

Season Three
When Youta is relived of his duties, Youta must find the other half of the A.I. formally being controlled by Genesis, who turns out to be a girl named Tia trapped in a VRMMO called Asuka Empire. Youta reunites with Agil in Japan and team up to log out Tia from the game. Meanwhile, Genesis and Laughing Coffin leader Morte join forces to preserve Tia and hinder Youta and Agil before they foil they're plans.
