An intense thriller told in a classic style by Malaysia’s most renowned director U-Wei Bin HajiSaari set in a Kampong outside of Kuala Lumpur.

Amran is a drifter who by chance (his ride has a punctured tyre) turns up at a café owned by Ibrahim a rich old man married to a beautiful young woman called Zaiton.

Zaiton’s life has stagnated into the mundane with no light at the end of the tunnel, but with the arrival of Amran, the reckless floater, she begins to see the possibility of a different future. Amran is intrigued by this woman and agrees to stay and work around the café in return for lodging. She flirts perilously with him setting in train an affair with disastrous consequences.

Zaiton is a vixen of unparalleled power who manipulates Amran into murdering her husband Ibrahim with a staged car accident. After transferring all her dead husbands’ money to herself, Zaiton and Amran’s rosy future is shattered as a blackmailer starts sending them pictures of the crash site. As fear rapidly takes hold Amran traces the blackmailer to a photographer, divests him of all incriminating evidence then makes a rapid escape with Zaiton into the night. Just as their fear begins to subside as they believe they’re home and hosed, a passing car clips them, sending their vehicle spinning out of control into a nasty accident in which Zaiton is burnt to death while a distraught Amran watches on. The sentencing of Amran to life imprisonment for the murder of Zaiton compounds the tragic ending.
