Plot: Once a troubled teenager himself, young Aiman, a former army regular and a correctional officer for the past two years, driven by his desire to help those who want to change, is transferred from Commonwealth to Larangan's maximum security prison workshop to handle the rehabilitated prisoners. Even though his personal reasons for wanting this transfer are quite ambiguous, before long, Aiman will meet with the prison's chief executioner Rahim, who as a seasoned hangman for more than thirty years, will see a man of discipline and principles in Aiman and take him under his wing. Eventually, when Rahim's assistant unexpectedly decides to resign, the chief will ask Aiman to take over, learn the "ropes" and the tricks of the trade, and ultimately, take pride in the humane methodology used in this horrifyingly repellent profession. As the eager apprentice's macabre fascination draws him closer to the chief executioner, will there be any place left for compassion?
Alternative Plot: Aiman, a 28-year-old Malay correctional officer, is transferred to the territory's top prison. At his new job, he is asked to become an apprentice to Rahim, the facility's executioner. Aiman tells his sister of his new position, and she becomes upset when she realizes their father was actually executed by Rahim. Aiman knew this all along. Aiman must overcome his conscience and a haunted past if he wants to become the next chief executioner.
