Nyai Srigati, a famous ronggeng dancer who reigns over the Pasir Ronggeng region, is the object of many men’s desires. Not only is she beautiful, but she also always stirs men’s passions when she dances on stage. One day, a dancer from the neighboring village—Nyai Lenggini—arrives in the village. Nyai Lenggini is a legendary ronggeng dancer. Every performance of hers always draws gasps of admiration from the audience. This situation upsets Nyai Srigati, driving her to take Nyai Lenggini’s life. Nyai Lenggini’s spirit then seeks revenge—including against the college students who are in the area for a field study.

Dewi works at a dance studio to cover her expenses while secretly practicing late at night to perfect the moves of the lead dancer, Meggy. When Meggy fails to master a crucial, complex routine for the upcoming People’s Festival, the studio's choreographer discovers Dewi executing it flawlessly and replaces Meggy with her. This sparks an intense rivalry, further escalated when Dewi’s boyfriend cheats on her with Meggy. Unbeknownst to them, Meggy’s father, Gurniwa, is using the festival as a backdrop for his village head election campaign. Behind the scenes, he is conspiring with an investor to seize traditional village land for a luxury resort, directly threatening the locals' initiative to build a community-run tourist village.
