The Deal...
Abel and her fiance, Wisnu, are happily engaged, until a young woman shows up at Abel's door claiming to be seven months pregnant with Wisnu's child. In a fit of crazed anger and heartbreak, armed with a bottle of pills and a tall glass of water, Abel attempts to take her own life. Having been pronounced dead for some time, she is resuscitated and awakes in the hospital to the face of her childhood friend, Charlie. Seeking to rescue her from her despair and misfortune, Charlie invites Abel to stay with him in his beautiful, albeit largely un kempt, villa. Here, Abel can begin a new life, far from the trials that drove her to suicide, and without Wisnu.... But all is not right. Abel becomes increasingly aware of a sinister force residing in the villa: a collection of horrific, half-human entities that only she can see. And they are ever encouraging her to attempt suicide again, and this time, to succeed...
