Alina (Steffi Zamora), a popular and accomplished social media influencer, suddenly finds her life turned upside down. A provocative photo of her is posted online by Joe (Daffa Wardhana) without her consent, costing her scholarship cut off. At home, tensions rise when her stepfather’s reckless spending drags her family into debt collectors’ crosshairs. Meanwhile, Omar (Endy Arfian) , a campus friend trying to win her heart, disappears just when she needs him most. Amid these struggles, Alina finds solace in Aisyah (Sita Permata Sari), a fellow student and owner of a modest Muslim fashion boutique, who offers her work as both a model and assistant.
