Storyline:
Sometimes you need bad guys... to catch something worse.
Jaka, a seasoned police officer haunted by the ghosts of personal tragedy, joins forces with Sekar, his determined but idealistic junior, and three hardened criminals granted temporary freedom — under one brutal condition: hunt down a sadistic serial killer terrorizing the city.
But as their mission unfolds, what starts as a desperate manhunt transforms into a deep dive into the murky waters of corruption, where the lines between good and evil blur beyond recognition.
Jaka and his team soon realize that sometimes the real monsters wear badges, and that in a world this broken, justice itself might be the deadliest illusion of all.
When the system is sick, justice becomes a crime.
