The movie follows the story of a young girl named Risa (played by Prilly Latuconsina) who has the ability to see ghosts. The movie begins with Risa and her mother moving into a new house after her parentsâ divorce. The new house is surrounded by dark and spooky forests where Risa often sees ghostly figures. Even though her mother doesn't take her seriously, Risa continues to see the ghosts more frequently and vividly. Despite her fear, Risa is determined to help the ghosts find peace and to uncover the truth behind the supernatural occurrences.
One day, Risaâs best friends, Nadia (played by Sandrinna Michelle) and Jessica (played by Stefhanie Zamora Husen) come over to Risaâs house. They accidentally summon a spirit and Risa has to use her gift to save them. Noticing her bravery, the ghosts begin to follow Risa wherever she goes. But things take a turn for the worse when Risa discovers that the spirits are actually vengeful ghosts who want to harm her and her friends. In order to stop the ghosts from attacking them, Risa and her friends seek the help of Ibu Sri (played by Shareefa Daanish), a spiritualist, who helps them to uncover the dark secrets behind the supernatural occurrences.
As Risa and her friends delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover the dark history of the house and the forest. They find out about a girl who lived in the same house years ago that was killed by her own mother. The mother had used black magic to sacrifice her daughter in order to gain eternal life.
