Malaysia was shocked by the arrest of two elderly siblings, Syakimah and Rabiah, by police for the crime of murder. This news became a sensation and received extensive media coverage. Syakimah (58 years old) and her younger sister, Rabiah (56 years old), were charged with the murder of Malek, Syakimah's husband who frequently abused her. This case caught the attention of Azri, a lawyer who wanted to defend the siblings without charging any fees. Azri wanted the case to gain public attention. However, he failed and the siblings were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for culpable homicide. Rabiah fell ill while serving her prison sentence and eventually died. This added to Syakimah's suffering. She began to think about her son whom she had abandoned 30 years ago. So, Syakimah asks Azri to help her trace her son.
