One day, there is a football match between Ale's group and a rival group. After the match, a fight breaks out. One of the rival member plans to stab Ale. However, Jarot manages to foil it by hitting the attacker's head with a stone, killing him.

Returning home, he sees his grandmother is dead; he then leaves the slum. Meanwhile, in prison, Jarot is tortured by other inmates. During visiting hours, he is jealous of the other inmates, who are visited by their relatives. He misses his friends. After that, he fights back against the other inmates who disturb him.
When released, Jarot meets Fathir. Fathir brings him to headquarter of a drug gang, Naga Hitam (Black Dragon). Jarot is offered membership by their leader (George Rudy), which he accepts. Jarot and Fathir are assigned to protect drug distribution in his home slum. They have to deal with Ale's group. Jarot then comes back home to see his family and Aisyah. He expresses his love to her. Later, Lukman's little brother overdoses. In revenge, Lukman plans to kill Jarot, but he is shot by Fathir. Sadat and Jago are furious, and plan to rape Yani in return; Jarot, enraged, tortures them to death.
Ale learns that Aisyah is in love with Jarot. He locks her in her room. However, Aisyah manages to escape and meets Jarot on a rooftop in order to ask him to stay with her; Jarot refuses. After the meeting, Aisyah is pushed from the roof by Fathir and dies immediately. Jarot assumes she killed herself, while Ale suspects Jarot. Jarot calls Ale to meet him. They fight, and Ale takes out his pistol. As they continue to struggle, a gunshot is heard; Ale drops dead. As he walks away, Jarot is shot twice by Fathir. The film closes with a scene which shows Bara taking Ale's pistol and leaving the slum with his friends to take revenge.
