Plot

Four years (2116AD) after the events of season one of the series, the Japanese government has begun to export the Sibyl System technology to other countries, with plans to ultimately spread it throughout the world. A state in the midst of a civil war, SEAUn (the South East Asia Union, pronounced "shian"), brings in the Sibyl System as an experiment, and the coastal town of Shambala Float achieves temporary peace and safety. But then terrorists from SEAUn appear in Japan, slipping through the Sibyl System and attacking from within, drawing Akane Tsunemori and her team to Shambala Float (based in what was once Cambodia) to investigate, drawn by evidence linking Kōgami with them.

There are a number of subtle visual references in-film to various anime & films, such as Ghost in the Shell, Innocent Venus, Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner.
