Twenty-eight year-old Asih (Shareefa Daanish) committed suicide because of the many unfortunate events that happened to her.

Driven insane, she murdered her baby before ending her own life.
Nearby, Puspita (Citra Kirana) is pregnant. Living with her husband, Andi, and mother-in-law, the family seem happy, especially as the baby is expected in two months. However, strange events continue to haunt Puspita and her family, seemingly caused by Asih’s spirit. What does Asih really want?
