The story focuses on a young boy named Ipung, who has been warned by his grandparents not to whistle during Maghrib. However, out of curiosity and mischief, Ipung ignores the warning and whistles anyway, not realizing that his actions will open the gates to an unimaginable catastrophe. That night, Ipung began to experience gripping supernatural terror. When he fell asleep, he was haunted by a mysterious figure that resembled the people around him. Even to the point of showing his death.

When he woke up, the terror did not end. Instead, it became more real and horrifying, putting Ipung on the brink of death. Now, Ipung must race against time to save himself. He must find a way to fight or avoid the curse that he has summoned himself through his nightly whistling.

Will he succeed in escaping the clutches of death, or will he have to face the terrible fate that awaits him later?
