When the SALCON virus spreads and kills people rapidly, desperate civilians try to look for the Nagapuspa flower; a legend that’s said to treat all human ailments. It grows on a rock in the darkest crevices of the remote jungle of Bali. Despite having failed for a dozen years, Professor Dhira believes Nagapuspa is real. On the opposite side is Soni Raditya Prakasa, number eight of the top ten richest tycoons in Southeast Asia. Lurking like a snake, there is also Komang Jaya, who secretly has a hidden plan.
