Meet Abang and Adik, two parentless brothers making their way in a society on the fringes of Malaysia. Abang, the first-born who cannot hear anything, assumes full obligations and selects out the poor life, giving preference to the well-being of his junior sibling over other things.
Adik, the younger brother, is really frustrated with their status as illegal residents which has led them to miss out on many things. He always wants to wipe out all their rivals because he is hot-headed; however, this contrasts sharply with Abang’s quiet resignation after losing competitions hence straining their ties somehow.
