One day the Regent of a district in Central Java noticed that some of the religious schools in his area have become less tolerance of other more moderate Muslims populace which are more common in Indonesia. Upon closer examination, the Regent discovered that the Uztads (teachers) are Wahabis from Saudi Arabia, who have somehow gained control of those schools. It seems that the ultra-conservative Wahabis are planning to change the way the people practice their religion by force if necessary. The Regent, together with Noto who is crown prince of the kingdom as well as military commander of the region - decided to quietly act to rid these harmful foreign influences. To make sure that they have thoroughly dealt with the problem, the Regent afterward decided to send one of his disciples to Saudi Arabia to rid those who sent the Uztads to Java.Reality and spiritual existence for some people in Java often coexist. As the future King of Mataram, it seems that Notos life and progress have been closely monitored by Nyai Roro Kidul (The Goddess of the Southern Ocean). Interestingly, Notos attempt to have a son has attracted the karmas of five of his elder advisors none of them has son as well as the Nyai. When his son was born, a lightning bolt shattered the window of the hospital room. Miraculously the five elder advisors happened to be there to protect the mother and the baby from harm. Noto felt certain that the Nyai had sensed the birth of his son and caused the lightning to strike as a warning. Again, when Noto was celebrating his troops victory during an annual wargame, the Nyai unleashed a tsunami which flooded the area thus killing several soldiers as well as countless number of large and smaller animals. Furious with what the Nyai had done, Noto decided to call her out and confronted her. After a long conversation with the Nyai, Noto was able to convince the Nyai that she is not as almighty as she thinks. As an honest leader, Notos anti-corruption stands created a crisis that threatens the stability of the government. With his brother, Dharmawan, and with the help of a computer hacker, they decided to manipulate evidences to convict those they believed are guilty. One of the corrupt members of the Parliament who was eventually implicated turned out to have been influenced by a foreign power, a serious crime which made him a target of a military tribunal. The tribunal convicted him to death. However, when he tried to make a deal with the police by revealing who was responsible for the hotel bombing which killed many people several years earlier, he was killed in his jail cell. All his colleague points the Muslim Fundamentalist group as being responsible for his killing because he was about to implicate them for the bombing. By then the public has had enough of the antics of the Muslim Fundamentalist group and decided to barricade them inside their own headquarter and then set the place ablaze.
