In Chennai, men and women are mysteriously killed, and the police cannot find a single clue to catch the serial killer.

The police department gives Police Inspector Vandana (Shubha Poonja) the mission of finding enough evidence to convict Nandakumar. Vandana poses as a TV serial dialogue writer and asks Nandakumar for a room in the resort. Nandakumar has no rooms but is under pressure to keep her in his own room in order to gain money and repay his loans.

Mathana tries to seduce Nandakumar on multiple occasions by wearing sexy dresses and exposing her body, but she fails every time. Vandana finally realizes that Nandakumar is an innocent man who has nothing do with that case, and she falls in love with him. Thereafter, Vandhana finds the culprit: the local church father (R. N. R. Manohar) who lives in a church near Nandakumar's resort. The church father finds her in his room. He manages to tie her up, and he then confesses the murders.

In the meantime, Nandakumar is chased by the police, and he enters the church to hide from them.
