But in short, Ghost in the Shell is a bizarre and twisted story that takes place in the future at Niihama city in Japan. Based off of a popular manga series, the story revolves around a task force called Public Security Section 9. The special group is made up of former military officers and police detectives that take on missions to keep the city safe.
