PlotIn a rough Indonesian town, Sandi, a deaf former gangster with a troubled past, strives to live a quiet life with his young son, Pandu. Sandi's efforts to reform and provide a stable upbringing for Pandu face challenges when a brutal crime orchestrated by a powerful criminal syndicate unfolds in their community.
