In Minangkabau, West Sumatera, Yuda a student of Silat Harimau is in the final preparations to begin his “Merantau” a time honoured tradition that will see him leave the comforts of his village behind to make a name for himself in the bustling city of Jakarta. Arriving in the city alone and homeless within his first night, a chance encounter leads to Yuda defending the orphaned Astri from becoming the latest victim of a European human trafficking ring led by the wildly psychotic Ratger. Forced to go on the run with Astri and her younger brother Adit, Yuda’s introduction to the city is a baptism of fire as all the pimps and gangsters that inhabit the night hound the streets chasing their every step.
