<Synopsis>

Late at night at a Malaysian camp, a group of female trainees on duty are urgently summoned. One of them, who appears to be possessed, accuses the others of breaking the rules by leaving “dirty things” in a toilet. Their instructor sternly orders them to clean it by midnight.

These young women, who come from different faiths, share the same living space. Now, their fragile harmony is on the verge of collapse as the pressure of this gruesome task pushes the boundaries of their mutual respect to the breaking point.
