          Usamah,  a  novel  writer,  lives  a  luxurious
          life  as  his  first  novel  was  a  major  hit.
          Things  turned  upside  down  after  a  well-
          known critic, Joe Penapi, ripped Usamah’s
          second and third novel to shreds in his
          review. The sales plummeted, sending him
          into bankruptcy. Embittered, Usamah lost
          interest in writing and had to move to a
          slum.  One  day,  he  receives  an  epiphany
          and decides to build up his life again,
          this time seeking help from a legendary
          writer, Johari Salim. Amidst his struggle
          to regain his prestige, his illegal immigrant
          neighbours pleads for his help. What
          tips did he get from senior writers? Is it
          possible for him to retrieve his passion?
          Will Usamah be  able to help his  friends
          and himself?
