Aruna is an epidemiologist investigating bird flu outbreaks across Indonesia. Joined by her best friends Bono and Nad, the trio uses the business trip to go on a culinary adventure.

As the four friends relish the art of Indonesian cuisine, Aruna senses something suspicious about the investigation and is forced to face her doubts, along with her unresolved feelings toward Farish.
