The series takes place in Japan during the year 2030, and revolves around the activities of Public Security Section 9, a fictional intelligence department under the Japanese Ministry of Home Affairs. The series' main storyline focuses on Section 9's independent investigation of the Laughing Man incident after Togusa, a member of Section 9, receives information from an old friend concerning possible government interference in the official police investigation of the incident.

Ghost in the Shell SAC is a great series for those who like their anime dark, not over-the-top and thrilling.
The story is broken up into Stand-Alone-Episodes (Episodes that have their own story) and Complex-Episodes (Episodes that deal with the main story, the "Laughing Man"). While the former are great one-shots with decent action and occasionaly social/technological commentary regarding the world of Ghost in the shell, the latter episodes have got immensely suspense and a great overarching storyline. The story around the Laughing man is so well extrapolated from modern-day trends, that you will start to reflect on our modern medicine, economics and politics.
