Plot

Gasing Tengkorak, a mystical game rooted in the Minangkabau culture, tells the story of Veronica, a popular top diva. Suddenly collapsing during a concert, Veronica abruptly cancels her tour and seeks solace in a secluded haven, far from the clamoring crowds.

Michael, Veronica's manager, secures a luxurious and expansive villa, offering Veronica a tranquil escape. Initially, Veronica finds peace and contentment in her solitude. However, supernatural disturbances soon plague her existence, centered around a sinister object: the Gasing Tengkorak.

As the top spins, the restless spirit of a child manifests, terrorizing Veronica's mind and soul. Unbeknownst to her, someone has deliberately unleashed the Gasing Tengkorak to inflict harm. Driven by a thirst for answers, Veronica delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the top, unwittingly intensifying the perilous forces she faces.
