"Yang membuatku menjadi murahan begini, bukankah kamu?" (AMEENA) "Maafin aku, Am. Aku bener-bener nyesel." (ASHRAFF) *** Ketika SMA, Ashraff dan Ameena saling bersaing untuk meraih rangking satu. Di belakang Ameena, Ashraff menyuruh sosok ratu sekolah bernama Olyzia untuk mem-bully Ameena supaya fokus Ameena bisa terganggu. Yang terburuk, Ashraff tidak segan-segan untuk memfitnah Ameena, mengatakan bahwa Ameena sudah merayu sosok preman sekolah bernama Mirza untuk berbuat tidak senonoh hingga mampu membuat Ameena dicap murahan dan dikeluarkan dari sekolah. Aslinya, Ashraff tahu benar kalau Ameena habis dilecehkan Mirza. Tapi, bukankah untuk bisa memenangkan sesuatu kadang-kadang memang memerlukan taktik kotor? Atas dasar fitnah dari Ashraff, Ameena memilih untuk merealisasikan sebutan 'murahan' dengan menjalin hubungan terlarang bersama sosok laki-laki bernama Krishna. Yang menjadi masalah, Krishna memiliki seorang istri bermental psikopat bernama Qiya. Di tangan istri dari Krishna, nyawa Ameena terenggut dengan cara mengenaskan. Ameena diperkosa sama orang-orang suruhan Qiya secara bergilir sampai meninggal dunia dan mayat Ameena dibuang ke sungai dalam keadaan tidak berbusana, melainkan sebatas dibungkus dengan menggunakan karung. Merasa bersalah atas kehidupan Ameena, Ashraff memohon kepada Yang Maha Kuasa untuk dikembalikan ke hari-hari sebelum kematian Ameena. Jika dikabulkan, maka Ashraff akan berusaha untuk membayar semua kesalahan Ashraff kepada Ameena. Andaikan Ashraff sungguh-sungguh diberikan kesempatan kedua, apakah Ashraff akan berhasil menyelamatkan Ameena? ***
