"Adji memiliki seorang istri bernama Naya, kehidupan keduanya setelah menikah tidak baik-baik saja, karena Naya selalu saja mempertanyakan pekerjaan Adji yang dianggapnya tidak jelas, berjualan sayuran. Naya merasa malu dengan status suaminya yang miskin itu. Akan tetapi, suatu ketika, identitas Adji terbongkar sehingga membuat Naya dan juga mertuanya terkejut."

“Sabar ya, Dek! Maafkan pekerjaan Mas yang tidak keren seperti suaminya Mbak Miranda yang kantoran! Padahal ‘kan pendapatan Mas sekarang saja sudah mulai lebih besar dari pada gaji UMR yang ada! Makanya kamu udah nggak usah jualan sayur lagi! Mending di sini bantuin Mas bikin konten biar lebih menarik lagi,” ujarnya. “Nggak apa, Mas! Biar nanti ketika kita sukses bisa memberikan kejutan yang indah untuk mereka! Biar mereka menganga melihat tukang ngendon dan tukang sayur tapi isi rekeningnya lebih besar dari pada suaminya Mbak Miranda yang pekerja kantoran!” ucapku sambil mencoba tersenyum. Begitulah kehidupan yang dijalani pasangan Abiyasa dan Melati. Tampil alakadarnya dan dikategorikan dibawah garis sederhana padahal sedang memupuk mimpi untuk meraih tangga tertinggi sesuai yang mereka inginkan. Namun pemikiran yang kolot dari mertua Yasa di mana hanya menganggap menantu yang bekerja sebagai pegawai kantoran saja, akhirnya membuat Yasa keluar dari rumah. Dia mencoba peruntungan di luar rumah dengan membuat konten yang menarik dibantu oleh sahabat dan adik sahabatnya yang seorang model dan sedang naik daun. Hampir satu tahun menghilang dan putus komunikasi dengan Melati. Yasa dianggap sudah meninggal oleh mertuanya dan Melati akan dinikahkan dengan lelaki pilihan Pak Sugeng. Lelaki yang menyelamatkan kehormatan Melati ketika Hasim---kakak ipar Melati hendak melampiaskan nafsu bejatnya. Akankah Yasa kembali dalam waktu yang tepat dan menghentikan pernikahan itu? Ataukah semuanya terlambat dan semua pengorbanan yang mereka lakukan harus berakhir sia-sia?

Tak adil rasanya jika sama-sama menantu tapi di beda-bedakan. Itu yang Rasti rasakan selama menjadi menantu dikeluarga ini. Ada dua menantu di sini. Rasti dan Lika. Rasti menantu dari keluarga yang 'kere' kata ibu mertuanya, Rasti diperlakukan sesuka hatinya. Memang ibu mertua sangat menampakkan ketidak sukaannya didepan Rasti. Tapi tidak didepan anak lanangnya. Karena anaknya sangat mencintai Rasti apa adanya. Berbeda dengan Lika, Lika anak dari keluarga berada. Dia juga mempunyai gelar dan bekerja sebagai Bidan di puskesmas setempat. Ibu mertua selalu manyanjungnya. Tidak pernah menyuruhnya dan selalu membanggakan manantu kesayangannya di depan teman-temannya. Ibarat secangkir kopi, Rasti ini menjadi gula. Selalu kopinya yang dipuji enak. Tanpa ada yang memikirkan keberadaan gula yang membuat rasa kopi itu menjadi nikmat. Ya, seperti diriku. Menantu Kaya selalu dipuja, menantu miskin selalu dihina.

In an East London lock up, two film makers, Jimmy and Sam, are duct taped to chairs and forced to watch a snuff film by Ashkan, a loan shark to whom they owe a lot of money. If they don’t pay up, they’ll be starring in the next one. Before the film reaches its end, Ashkan and all his men are slaughtered by unknown assailants. Only Jimmy and Sam survive the massacre, leaving them with the sole copy of the snuff film. The film makers decide to build their next movie around the brutal film. While auditioning actors, they stumble upon Melissa, an enigmatic actress who seems perfect for the leading role, not least because she’s the spitting image of the snuff film’s main victim. Neither the film, nor Melissa, are entirely what they seem however. Jimmy and Sam find themselves pulled into a paranormal mystery that leads them through the shadowy streets of the city beneath the city and sees them re-enacting an ancient Mesopotamian myth cycle. As they play out the roles of long forgotten gods and goddesses, they’re drawn into the subtle web of a deadly heresy that stretches from the beginnings of civilization to the end of the world as we know it. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing
