Trapped by her family's dire financial situation, the naive Asih is forced to work as an entertainer at a brothel run by the cunning Mami Della. Driven to despair by the abuse and bullying she endures, Asih turns to a dark path: practicing the *Selasih Ireng* black magic, a ritual that demands numerous human sacrifices. When a young man who captures her heart enters her life, Asih faces a choice between love and worldly success, all while struggling to survive the terror unleashed by both Mami Della and the *Selasih Ireng* magic itself.

Sumi and Surni are sisters trapped in the cruel world of Mbah Sanu, a wealthy village chief and gambling addict. Sumi is Mbah Sanu’s new wife. Mbah Sanu will stop at nothing to satisfy his gambling cravings, including using a talisman to ensure victory. One day, Mbah Sanu is challenged to a gambling match by Sugeng, a champion from the neighboring village. To make a long story short, Sugeng manages to defeat Mbah Sanu by swapping his lucky charm. Unwilling to accept his defeat, Mbah Sanu performs a Jailangkung ritual. Unexpectedly, however, the spirit that appears through the Jailangkung turns out to be that of Satrio, Sumi’s ex-husband, whom she had brutally murdered in the past.
