The story trails the dark history of the Malay Peninsula involving, politically influential, Malay secret societies during this period. Indera Sakti was formed in the sixteenth century, after the defeat of the Malaccan army by the Portuguese, by soldiers who vowed to take back the entire peninsula, but currently consists of “sadistic reptiles who are assassins, pirates and other undesirables.” Darul Kubra, the another society, was formed to protect the treasures of Malik Al-Mansur, the ruler of Beruas who abandoned the city and fled from the advancing Portuguese.
