Suri (a representation of Mahsuri and ‘penunggu’) submits her whole being to an old yet charming kampong house and vows to remain devoted for better or worse. Every once a month, Suri performs a ritual that she believes will strengthen the bond between her and the house. In return, the house blesses her with beauty and grace. As she ages, Suri loses her sense of identity and starts to give in to temptations. The story then follows how Suri battles between facing her personal desires and tending to the house.

In the very end, once a soul has been cleansed of its past, it will take one last journey to the deepest of the abyss for a new beginning. To fulfil her filial piety, a young woman accompanies her mother on the journey to the end of her being. Under the setting moon, they reminisce about the past.

Transitioning into womanhood without a mother, a 21-year-old woman looks through her late mother's old belongings to capture the last drop of warmth she left for her.
