Sarini, a 30-year-old woman, has two daughters. Her youngest daughter suffers from a serious illness, while her husband is entangled in alcoholism. Sarini, who was married off through an arranged marriage, feels increasingly despondent. She can no longer bear the poverty and the sight of her youngest daughter suffering. While working as a laundress, Sarini overhears the maids at the market discussing tales of pesugihan getih anak (a ritual involving blood sacrifice for wealth). Intrigued, she decides to purchase a horror magazine that lists the contact information of various shamans. Despite visiting several shamans, none dare to help her due to the high risks involved. Finally, she is introduced to Mbah Rojo by one of the shamans. Sarini resolves to undertake the pesugihan getih anak, intending to sacrifice her sick daughter, Pertiwi. Ironically, it is her beloved daughter, Sri, who ends up being affected. Burdened by the grievous mistake she has made, Sarini begins to experience relentless supernatural terrors that haunt her for attempting to abort the ritual. Sri's death, under harrowing circumstances, leaves Sarini devastated, leading to frequent quarrels with her husband, Tarjo. She tries to find solace and acceptance through deepening her religious practices and coming to terms with Sri's departure. However, the mystical terror only intensifies. When Pertiwi's health further deteriorates, Sarini is shocked and panicked as Pertiwi exhibits the same symptoms Sri had. Ultimately, Pertiwi passes away, dealing another crushing blow to Sarini, especially when she witnesses her husband indulging in a lavish lifestyle. Growing suspicious, Sarini investigates and discovers that her husband had also engaged in the same pesugihan. Enraged, she confronts him, leading to a fierce argument, and he mysteriously dies shortly thereafter. Haunted by the tragic events that befell her family, Sarini eventually loses her mental stability and is admitted to a mental hospital, while the specters of her deceased children continue to torment her mind.
