Plot

The film starts with the death of a medical college student named Sophie after she falls from a building.

The story flashes back to seven days later. A banker called Sathya, who recently got engaged, visits a jewellery store, looking to surprise his fiancée with earrings. After buying the jewellery, he picks up his fiance and looks forward to impressing her with the costly gift when he suddenly notices another young woman hiding in his car's back seat.

Sathya gets caught in a catch-22 situation. He cannot continue to drive without knowing who the woman hiding in his car is. At the same time, Sathya cannot stop the vehicle and question the woman, lest his future wife gets the wrong impression. He waits for the opportune moment, which takes quite a while, and finally, when he does get the opportunity, he questions her. He discovers that the woman hiding in his car is Thara, a medical college student, and her life is in danger. She begs him to allow her to stay in his flat until her guardian, Father Vincent, comes and picks her up in an hour or two. Sathya initially refuses and is adamant about throwing her out. But eventually, he gives in, moved by her plight. He lets her into a guest room and tells her she does not have to let him know when she leaves with her guardian. However, that turned out to be a horrible mistake.

The following morning, his future father-in-law visits him, and he only then notices that Tara's dupatta and handbag are still where she left them in his living room. He looks into the room where he left her and sees Thara unconscious, presumably dead, on the floor. Just then, the police arrive at his flat to investigate a disturbance in the building, but they don't discover anything in Sathya's flat.

Then, he visits his friend, Jai Ganesh, a police officer, in a quiet field. He advises disposing of the body so Sathya will not get into trouble.

He prepares to dispose of the body, and his car breaks down en route. After a few incidents, he leaves the body in a van, where the driver finds it and decides to burn it. The next day, police arrived at the scene. The driver kills himself by hanging himself, afraid of being caught. Sathya receives a call from a private number, saying that if you become a detective looking into Thara's murder, he will be the next to hang.

Officers close the case by saying the victim is unidentified and the accused killed himself. The DSP decided to inquire, and the driver's mother told him about five people climbing into the vehicle. The DSP's further inquiry leads him to find Sathya, so Sathya visits the police station and subsequently leaves. However, a truck tries to kill him on the carriageway. The police issue a transfer order to Jai Ganesh, and he informs Sathya. In addition, his fiance's family cancelled his wedding after leaked photos showed Sathya lying down with a girl. Sathya contemplates suicide. However, his mother convinces him not to do anything fatal. After multiple incidents, Sathya investigates Thara's murder by questioning various people, such as Father Vincent's assistant, Sophie's lover, and the hostel watchman. He even gets attacked by several people. However, he discovers the medical college dean is the devious mastermind behind Sophie and Thara's deaths. Sathya fights with him, and he reveals what happened.

The dean raped Sophie and threw her out of the window. Thara saw photos of Sophie's post-mortem within a file and said someone murdered her. So the dean sends goons to get her. She left the file in Sathya's car. However, the dean killed Father Vincent after he had to go to visit Sathya. He went to Sathya's apartment, destroyed the server room, strangled Thara, and took a picture of Thara and Sathya lying together. The dean planned to kill orphaned postgraduate students and give the seats to wealthy students to gain money. Eventually, Sathya leaves Sophie's lover and his gang to kill the dean, and Sathya hands the evidence of the dean's involvement to the DSP.
