The film begins with Alia, portrayed by Jessica Mila, comforting her younger sister, Abel, played by Bianca Hello. She tells Abel that the unsettling ghosts she perceives are simply products of her imagination. However, one fateful night, a nightmarish apparition attacks Abel, leaving lasting scars on her legs.
Fast forward ten years, and Alia is now a dedicated professional, while Abel has grown into a troubled teenager who still encounters the spirits from her childhood. Tragedy strikes when their parents die in a car accident, prompting the sisters to move back to their parents’ old estate—the very place where Abel was once attacked. Alia has been in a relationship with Davin, played by Denny Sumargo, a photographer who decides to accompany them as they navigate this difficult transition.
As they settle into the estate, Abel’s visions of ghosts intensify. She confides in Alia, claiming that the ghostly family inhabiting their home doesn’t want them there. Concerned for her sister’s well-being, Alia takes Abel to see a psychiatrist. Here, Abel reveals that their mother had once sought the help of Bu Windu, a spiritual healer, instead of a psychologist. Skeptical yet desperate, Alia agrees to visit Bu Windu, who sheds light on Abel’s unique condition—she has an open third eye. When Alia mockingly requests Bu Windu to open her own third eye, she unexpectedly begins to experience a series of supernatural visions, compelling her to acknowledge the validity of Abel’s fears.
The estate reveals its dark secrets: it is home to a vengeful family of three ghosts, intent on avenging their untimely deaths. In a gripping turn of events, Alia becomes possessed by these spirits, who manipulate her to kill their murderer—their family gardener. The situation escalates when the ghosts abduct Abel, dragging her to the netherworld. In a desperate bid to rescue her sister, Mrs. Windu informs Alia that she must enter the netherworld with the assistance of a spirit, allowing her to become invisible to the ghostly entities. The shocking revelation hits when it is unveiled that Davin has been a spirit all along, having died in the same car accident that led to the sisters’ current plight.
Devoted to saving Abel, Alia and Davin embark on this perilous journey together, ultimately succeeding in rescuing her before Davin ascends to heaven. Although it appears that the turmoil has subsided, Alia and Abel soon discover that a lingering ghost named Mirah continues to shadow them, suggesting that their battles with the supernatural are far from over.
