The Shadow Strays follows Codename 13, a young 17-year-old assassin played by Aurora Ribero. After a mission failure in Japan, she is instructed by her harsh mentor, Umbra, portrayed by Hana Pitrashata Malasan, to lay low in Jakarta. Her encounter with Monji, an 11-year-old boy tangled in a local crime syndicate’s conflicts, leads to her decision to shield the boy despite the risks, triggering a series of violent showdowns that push her combat skills to the edge.
