But in a world where power comes at a cost, Emilia will have to decide how much of her soul she’s willing to sacrifice to get the revenge she so desperately craves.

Di Indonesia tahun 2025, meskipun negara ini telah mengalami kemajuan pesat dalam bidang teknologi, korupsi masih merajalela di hampir setiap institusi. Pemerintahan yang seharusnya melindungi rakyat malah sering terlibat dalam penyalahgunaan kekuasaan dan penyelewengan dana. Banyak perusahaan besar, terutama yang beroperasi di sektor energi dan sumber daya alam, memanfaatkan kekuasaan mereka untuk mengeksploitasi kekayaan negara demi keuntungan pribadi. Rakyat kecil terus hidup dalam ketidakpastian dan ketidakadilan. Felza Wellian, seorang hacker asal Jakarta, pernah bekerja sebagai pengembang perangkat lunak di salah satu perusahaan keamanan siber terbesar di Indonesia. Namun, hidupnya berubah setelah ia menemukan bahwa perusahaannya terlibat dalam proyek-proyek yang didanai oleh dana korupsi, termasuk pembangunan infrastruktur yang melibatkan pejabat tinggi di pemerintah dan korporasi besar yang mengendalikan industri minyak dan gas. Ketika kekasihnya, Cecilia, seorang jurnalis investigasi yang berusaha mengungkapkan kejahatan-kejahatan ini, dibunuh oleh tangan-tangan kekuasaan, Felza memutuskan untuk membalas dendam. Dengan identitas baru sebagai Avisev, Felza memulai pertempuran tanpa ampun melawan sistem yang telah menghancurkan hidup orang-orang yang ia cintai. Menggunakan keahliannya dalam dunia maya, ia meretas bank-bank besar, perusahaan energi, dan sistem pemerintah untuk mengungkap dan membocorkan data yang menunjukkan penyalahgunaan kekuasaan. Felza meninggalkan jejak digital yang tak bisa dilacak, mengungkapkan korupsi yang terjadi di tingkat tertinggi, dan memberikan harapan bagi rakyat Indonesia yang terpinggirkan. Namun, pertempuran Avisev mulai menarik perhatian Badan Siber Nasional (BSN), sebuah lembaga pemerintah yang bertanggung jawab untuk menjaga keamanan dunia maya Indonesia. Nayla Vini, seorang agen muda yang terlatih di dunia maya, ditugaskan untuk memburu Avisev. Nayla adalah hacker ulung yang sebelumnya bekerja di BSN untuk melawan ancaman dunia maya, namun ia mulai meragukan keabsahan tugas yang diberikan padanya setelah mengetahui bahwa lembaganya ternyata juga terlibat dalam skema korupsi besar. Dalam perjalanan ini, Felza dan Nayla berhadapan langsung—dua hacker dengan tujuan yang berbeda namun dengan keterampilan yang sebanding. Felza berusaha mengungkap kejahatan yang telah merusak negara, sementara Nayla berjuang untuk menegakkan hukum yang ada, meskipun hukum itu tampaknya hanya menguntungkan mereka yang berkuasa. Seiring berjalannya waktu, Nayla mulai mempertanyakan kesetiaannya pada negara, sementara Felza harus memilih antara melanjutkan misinya untuk mengungkap kebenaran atau menghadapi kenyataan bahwa perlawanan ini bisa memusnahkan dirinya dan orang-orang yang ia cintai.
