A mysterious series of supernatural disturbances begins to haunt a small community, leading to the revelation of an ancient Malay curse involving the legendary Penanggal — a flying female spirit that detaches her head and organs to prey on victims at night. As dark secrets slowly unravel, the truth behind the haunting forces the characters to confront forbidden knowledge, black magic, and terrifying consequences.
