Based on the groundbreaking, cult classic anime, KITE tells the story of Sawa (India Eisley, THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER, UNDERWORLD AWAKENING), a young woman living in a corrupt society where crime and gangs terrorize the streets. When Sawa's mother and policeman father are found victims of a grisly double homicide, she begins a ruthless pursuit for the man who murdered them. With the help of her father's ex-partner, Karl Aker (Samuel L. Jackson, CAPTAIN AMERICA THE WINTER SOLDIER, THE AVENGERS, DJANGO UNCHAINED), and a mysterious friend from her past (Callan McAuliffe, THE GREAT GATSBY, I AM NUMBER FOUR), she becomes a merciless assassin, blasting her way through the dark world of human trafficking only to uncover a devastating truth.

Season 2 catches up with former FBI agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) in the aftermath of his showdown with escaped serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy). As the lone survivor of a new killing spree, Lily Gray (Connie Nielsen) is called in to help Ryan and Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore) solve the case, but Ryan's reluctance to re-join the FBI finds him working alongside his niece Max Hardy (Jessica Stroup) behind closed doors. As Ryan crosses paths with some complicated people, he believes that Joe is nowhere near finished wreaking havoc.
