Karim, played by Faizal Hussein, is a dedicated public defender working in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. His personal life, however, is fractured; he is a single father struggling with a haunted past. Years ago, his wife vanished without a trace, and more recently, his teenage daughter, Nadia, has also run away from home. In a desperate attempt to reunite his family, Karim hires Daud, a former police officer, to track the girl down. Despite their efforts, they repeatedly miss her by a narrow margin, leading the experienced Daud to suspect that something supernatural is actively blocking their path and hiding Nadia from their sight.
