In her country's industrial sphere, Agustina Darmawan, an influential trade member, receives backlash over her comments regarding economic synergies, particularly rubber and pepper trade.

Jetan Santoso, a diplomat, however, begs to differ and maintains that growth is not possible in a vacuum and that Indonesia must move beyond trade transactions and create relations to last for a long. With a heart-wrenching experience, he manages to persuade Agustina to change her views on the matter.
