Bocah and Halak, strangers sharing tales of glory, meet in a rainforest clearing and quickly form a bond, as if connected through past lives. Unseen, the mystical Rimba watches, ready to pounce and seal their fate.

In this ethereal realm, the storytellers bring their tales to life, embodying characters from Nusantara folklore, including Kedah's Raja Bersiong and Sarawak's Dayang Isah.
