When a landslide strikes the quiet hills of Raub, Pahang, seasoned journalist Hani and his steadfast photographer Zakwan are sent to cover what seems like a routine disaster report. But as they dig deeper, the earth reveals more than mud and rubble - it unearths a long-buried secret dating back to the 1940s.
Among whispers from locals and forgotten news clippings, they discover the tragic tale of a mysterious girl, believed to have died decades ago. But the truth is far more sinister. As Hani and Zakwan connect the dots, they stumble upon a political conspiracy shrouded in silence - a cover-up that powerful figures have kept hidden for generations. What began as a field report spirals into a dangerous pursuit of truth.
Who was the girl? Why was her story buried? And who still wants it silenced today? In a race against time, the past collides with the present, and secrets long hidden beneath the soil begin to surface.
