Shortly after the events of AI: The Somnium Files, Kaname Date, an agent of the Advanced Brain Investigation Squad (ABIS), and Aiba, an artificial intelligence partner housed in his cybernetic left eye, investigate the alleged alien abduction of internet idol Iris Sagan. Date uses a process called "Psyncing" to enter the Somnium, or dream world, of persons of interest and extract information to help solve the case. Meanwhile, Iris is allowed by her abductor, a reptilian woman named Akemi, to remain in contact with Date and Aiba, who assist her in solving escape room puzzles for her survival.
