Should the task fail or remain incomplete past the deadline, the bearer will suffer the contract's backlash and die a violent death.

Benda kuno itu bukan sekadar perhiasan; ia adalah kepingan dari artefak legendaris yang dulu digunakan Raja Solomon untuk mengendalikan jin dan membangun Tabir Pemisah antara dunia manusia dan dunia gaib. Namun, Tabir itu kini menipis. Termakan usia ribuan tahun dan diperparah oleh ulah tak terduga kakek Arya, dinding dimensi itu mulai retak. Jin-jin yang dulunya terkurung—dari Jin Ghul yang kelaparan hingga Jin Ifrit kuat yang haus kekuasaan—kini mulai menyusup ke dunia manusia, membawa kekacauan dan horor yang tak terbayangkan. Di tengah kebingungan dan ancaman yang tak masuk akal ini, Arya menemukan kenyataan pahit: ia adalah keturunan Nephilim, darah kuno yang memberinya kekuatan tersembunyi, tapi juga menjadikannya target utama para jin yang membenci warisan Solomon. Dengan insiden tak terduga, ia secara paksa "mengikat" Barbatos, seorang Jin Ifrit perokok nan cerewet yang dulunya terkurung oleh Solomon, menjadi mentornya yang enggan. Bersama Barbatos yang sarkastik, Arya harus menguasai kekuatan Nephilim-nya yang baru bangkit, menghadapi gelombang invasi jin yang semakin kuat, dan memulai pencarian berbahaya untuk menemukan sisa-sisa pecahan Cincin Solomon yang tersebar di seluruh Nusantara. Dari kuil angker di pedalaman Jawa hingga reruntuhan kuno yang tak terjamah di pelosok Indonesia, Arya harus berlomba melawan waktu, menguak rahasia Raja Solomon, dan menghadapi kenyataan bahwa kakeknya mungkin bukan satu-satunya yang bertanggung jawab atas kehancuran Tabir.
