Plot
The film's protagonist, Lekshmi, is a speech therapist and a single mother. She along with her daughter returns to their ancestral village in Kalingadu, after her husband passes away. One night, Lakshmi is attacked and her daughter is kidnapped. The rest of the tale is the pursuit of the daughter. After obvious efforts to track down her daughter fail, Lekshmi seeks the help of a supernatural power in the village, Neeli.

A paranormal investigator, Reny, enters the fray with two good-hearted thieves, played by Baburaj and Sreekumar, along with a photographer essayed by Zinil Zainudeen. The trio takes care of the comedic devices in the film. Not that it needed many, especially with Reny's gizmos that could track any energy based on its smell.
