Plot

A Royal Malaysian Police special task force, led by Roslan, is tasked with bringing down a notorious mafia group known as the Gang Anarchist, led by Asyraff, in Kuala Lumpur. A young policeman named Zul is recruited into the task force to assist Roslan in solving the case. However, the situation becomes increasingly complicated as Asyraff begins manipulating the emotions, minds, and sympathies of both Roslan and Zul.

The tension escalates when Anarchist robs Dato Meor's Damofa Bank, revealing a shocking secret. What is this hidden truth? And how will the police outsmart the Gang Anarchist to restore order?

Roslan receives a call from Asyraff, who informs him that he has arrived at Roslan's house and is planning to kill Diana. Panicked, Roslan rushes home and tries to contact Diana. However, Diana calls him instead, then retreats to her room to pray to God. As Asyraff prepares to kill her, he notices Diana praying and, moved by the sight, decides to leave the house without harming her.

Meanwhile, Zul handcuffs Raj and escapes from the police station to save Mia. As he tries to contact Mia, he is run over by a lorry driven by Asyraff. Asyraff then kills several police officers and captures Zul.

At the warehouse, Zul is tied up by Asyraff alongside his fiancée, Mia, and Dato Mior. Asyraff reveals to Zul that his mother was raped by Dato Mior. Seeking revenge, Asyraff and Rizal hire an assassin to kill Dato Mior. However, during the assassination attempt, the assassin is shot dead by Roslan.

Asyraff explains his plan to "change the world" and tries to persuade Zul to join his side. Despite this, Asyraff ultimately kills Dato Mior instead of sparing him. The police surround the warehouse where Asyraff is holding the hostages. Zul and them, shooting Mia in the leg.

A fierce fight ensues between Zul and Asyraff, during which Asyraff threatens Mia with a gun. Roslan and his squad, along with Asyraff's mother, watch the standoff. Asyraff's mother pleads with him to stop, but Asyraff, determined not to lose, demands a helicopter, counting to three as a final warning. When the helicopter doesn't arrive, Asyraff attempts to execute Mia but is shot dead by the squad members before he can pull the trigger.

Zul is sent to a mental hospital. Roslan visits him and apologizes for doubting him. He then shares a profound thought, saying, "This world will not be destroyed by those who commit evil, but by those who witness evil and choose to do nothing."
