When Marcus Holloway, a self-taught hacker, is accused of a crime against the HDC, for a high-tech burglary he did not commit, he takes the fight to them and reveals their corruption. A while later he is put through a trial by DedSec to erase his digital shadow in a Blume server farm, whilst inside he realizes how much data is being collected by the system. The story follows the events of the first game, with CTOS 2.0 being installed across the United States. The player's mission is to reveal the corruption of the CTOS 2.0 system by the CTO of the Blume Corporation, Dušan Nemec. DedSec members, inspired with the works of T-Bone and Aiden Pearce, are determined to take the fight to the enemy.
