Severe internet addiction has become an epidemic affecting the nation's young, eventually leading to their severe reliance on the internet. Those who have gone too far are enrolled at Elite Reeducation Academy, which will help them grow into successful adults. Hibiki is one such adolescent who wakes up in the facility with no idea how he got there. The head teacher informs him that he was knocked unconscious and taken to the school at the request of his mother, who was concerned about how combative her son was becoming as a result of his internet addiction. Stuck in a location that feels more like a jail than an academy, and with no way out of the assaults of the teachers, Hibiki chooses to take his own life.
