A young assassin prodigy who goes by the code name 13 (Ribero) is part of a deadly organization called the Shadow. When her latest assassination attempt goes awry, she’s suspended and exiled to Jakarta, Indonesia — despite help from her mentor, veteran assassin Umbra (Malasan). While living in a safe house, 13 meets a young boy named Monji (Fikry), and the pair begin to bond. That is, until Monji’s abducted by members of a crime syndicate. Unfortunately for Monji’s kidnappers, 13 will stop at nothing to keep the child safe — no matter how many men she has to kill.
