For four years, Elio has haunted Dewantara-a ghostly figure whose chilling signature is etched into every victim's skin. His crimes defy logic, his motives hidden in darkness, and the city trembles under his silent menace.
Near an ancient temple, where crumbling stone and eerie shadows converge, another body emerges-a grim canvas bearing Elio's name, marked by precise burn scars. In response, the national police dispatch Kaluna Liyara from Jagratara's Elite Investigators Force. Unyielding and razor-sharp, Kaluna tackles puzzles others dismiss as random, driven by a personal intuition that ties this case to her own hidden past.
Kaluna's relentless pursuit draws her into the orbit of Marko Jiatama. By day, Marko runs a charming coffee shop; by night, it transforms into a craft beer bar-a stage for hushed secrets and tense revelations. His controlled demeanor and magnetic allure mask a hidden tenderness forged by past tragedies.
In stark contrast, Marko's younger brother, Mario, radiates infectious warmth and friendliness, his easy smile hinting at the darker undercurrents swirling between Marko and Kaluna.
As the investigation deepens, each clue blurs the line between attraction and peril. Kaluna finds herself ensnared in a web of obsession, betrayal, and whispered secrets. In Dewantara, where daylight magnifies the stark shadows of truth, even the dead refuse to rest.
Every moment pulses with urgency as Kaluna navigates a labyrinth of deception and desire, drawn ever closer to a collision of passion and danger. And ever at the periphery, Elio watches-a relentless observer behind a facade of light, where every ray casts a darker, more sinister shadow.
