The letter threatens, if Pasha does not do what is ordered in the letter, then death would pick him up. From that letter, Kinan and Zein investigate Gama Plaza, an old building that had been used as a place of suicide by their campus students several years ago, Darius (Jerome Kurnia). When they begin the investigation, the next letter arrive again to one of their campus student, and this time it takes a life.
