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.
