Syamsul, a young man driven to despair by being repeatedly rejected by many women in his village, takes a shortcut through sorcery to get what he wants. It doesn’t take long before he’s able to charm the women in the village—including those who are married. However, things soon take a darker turn and spiral out of control. This film is said to be based on and inspired by a series of real-life mystical events that took place in Banda Neira in 1988.

Ikhsan (Ahmad Pule) asks permission from his mother, Daeng Rannu (Sri Herawati), to visit the grave of his father, Daeng Rate (Jerry Wong), who died 15 years ago after being accused of being a black magic Doti shaman in Jonjo village. Although traumatized, Daeng Rannu finally allows it on the condition that Ikhsan be careful and hide his identity.
