Synopsis When faith is twisted and devotion is blind, one girl risks everything to save her mother from a deviant sect.
The series centers on Baiduri (Riena Diana), a young woman coerced by her devout mother, Kalsum (Fazlina Ahmad Daud) into joining Jihad Ummah, a religious sect led by the enigmatic Walid Muhammad (Faizal Hussein).
As Baiduri becomes increasingly involved, she uncovers disturbing practices hidden beneath the group’s spiritual facade—forced marriages, unquestioned obedience, and controversial rituals.
The return of Hambali (Fattah Amin), the son of Walid's second-in-command, from Yemen marks a turning point. Disillusioned by what the sect has become, Hambali allies with Baiduri in a courageous attempt to expose the truth and rescue those caught in the sect’s grip—including her mother. Together, they confront the cult’s leadership, risking everything for justice and freedom.
