In the bustling heart of Jakarta, a mysterious hacker known only as Nemesis rises to challenge a broken system. With unmatched skill and an unyielding sense of justice, he infiltrates every screen, every device, and every mind in the nation, forcing his demands upon a government that has long turned a blind eye to its people's suffering. When his warning reduces a skyscraper to rubble, the country is plunged into chaos, caught between fear and anticipation.
Determined to restore balance, Nemesis will go to any lengths to make sure justice prevails, crossing lines others would never dare. Each calculated act of sabotage forces the nation to confront its darkest truths. As police and intelligence agencies scramble to unmask him, the people are left wondering: is Nemesis a savior or a force too powerful to control?
In a world where justice has been forsaken, one man will stop at nothing to bring it back-even if he must stand alone against all odds.
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
