Plot
Kenes, her husband Rudi, and their son Raihan visit Kenes' estranged father, Sadimin, and brother, Bambang in the village of Wanirejo to discuss the sale of Wani Waras, their family's jamu business. Kenes resents Sadimin for marrying her best friend, Karina. Sadimin drinks a prototype jamu and drastically becomes younger, to his family's disbelief. He then announces that he would no longer sell Wani Waras and will instead expand Wani Waras by selling the jamu, titled Abadi Nan Jaya. The family descends into an argument before Sadimin suffers a seizure and collapses. As his family panics, Sadimin reanimates and attacks two servants, Aris and Pardi. Sadimin then attacks Bambang, who impales him with a crossbow bolt. Rudi asks Aris to seek help in Wanirejo, but Aris reanimates while driving and crashes his car into a celebration at the village chief's house before emerging and attacking the attendees, causing an outbreak.
