In a time and place where abortion is illegal, the newly pregnant Siti finds herself trapped. Although married to a loving husband, she doesn’t want to be a mother. She secretly tries everything to rid herself of the foetus, but nothing works. When she meets a carefree female bus driver who is in fact a spiritual entity, Siti realises that the only way out may be to become one herself.
