On the first day itself, Renu starts getting weird dreams about her house being haunted with evil people. A scared Renu calls over her boyfriend Vishal (Navdeep) for help. Vishal and Renu enjoy themselves at the bungalow. Vishal also pretends to scare Renu a few times, but later he too realizes the house is haunted. Rest of the story is as to what happens to both of them, and will they survive this evil haunted house during their stay.
