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.
Driven by desperation, Karim reaches out to an old government contact to ensure he is notified if the authorities find his daughter. In exchange for this favor, Karim agrees to provide a legal defense for Diana Dahlan, a shaman who has been arrested under grim circumstances. Diana is accused of the murder of Dato' Jeffri, a high-profile and wealthy businessman, who was allegedly killed during a pagan ritual. During their initial meeting, Diana shocks Karim by demonstrating an uncanny knowledge of his private life. She reveals that he and his wife struggled with infertility before eventually conceiving Nadia, and she speaks of the subsequent disappearance of his wife and the flight of his daughter. This revelation leads Karim to believe that Diana truly possesses supernatural abilities.
Parallel to this, the investigation into Diana's crimes is led by officers Talib and Shah. As they dig deeper, they discover a disturbing pattern of disappearances involving powerful and affluent men. Seeking a connection, Talib consults with Daud, who had investigated several of these earlier cold cases. During their conversation, Daud offers a cryptic warning about the nature of greed and faith, suggesting that people no longer worship solely in the direction of Mecca, but instead worship in all directions in pursuit of fame and wealth. He warns Talib that the further he delves into this darkness, the more susceptible he may become to temptation.
The mystery takes a violent turn when Danni, Diana's assistant, murders Daud. This act of violence provides Talib with a breakthrough, as he realizes that Daud's previous warnings were actually clues. Talib and Shah discover that Diana had lived in four different regions of the city—north, south, east, and west. Upon excavating her former residences, they find a gruesome discovery: dead bodies buried at every single location. While most of the victims were men who had previously been Diana's clients, one victim is a woman. This female body has been mummified, but with one horrifying detail: her womb has been completely removed.
As the legal battle continues, Nadia is finally located by the authorities and detained in a women's jail. However, she quickly descends into a state of hysteria, appearing to be possessed. While confined to the hospital wing, she is visited by the spirit of Diana. Through a series of harrowing flashbacks, the truth is revealed: before Nadia was conceived, Karim's wife had secretly sought Diana's mystical help to get pregnant. The price for this miracle was a dark pact; the wife was required to sacrifice her second fetus. When she became pregnant again years later, she refused to go through with the ritual. In a brutal act of supernatural enforcement, Diana and Danni forcefully removed her womb, leading to her death.
During the trial, it is argued that Diana did not intentionally kill Dato' Jeffri. According to her, Jeffri was supposed to follow specific taboos to achieve a state of invincibility. To test if the ritual had worked, Diana attempted to strike him with her sword, but the ritual failed, and she killed him instantly. To hide the evidence, she and her assistant sliced the body into eighteen separate pieces. Despite Karim's attempts to reduce the charge to manslaughter, the court finds her guilty of murder and sentences her to death by hanging. In a final act of defiance or perhaps destiny, Diana waives her right to appeal and demands to be executed immediately.
Following the verdict, Karim rushes to the prison to retrieve Nadia, only to be told that she has already been released. It is then that Talib delivers the final, crushing blow: the mummified woman found at Diana's former home was Karim's missing wife. The story concludes with the execution of Diana, but death is not the end. As the Hangman carries out the sentence, Diana's spirit migrates, possessing the body of Nadia. The young girl is no longer just a daughter; she has become the successor, the new woman shaman.
