In 1967, a young girl named Nithya is found traumatized in the aftermath of her family’s murder and is believed to be mentally ill and dangerous. Years later, psychiatrist Dr. Kannan Nair visits a remote mental asylum run by Dr. Benjamin, where Nithya is secretly confined. Nair becomes suspicious of Benjamin’s methods and investigates the asylum, eventually becoming emotionally attached to Nithya and believing she is being wrongfully treated.
As events escalate, Nair discovers hidden areas of the asylum and a diary revealing Nithya’s past, including her royal lineage and traumatic history. Tensions rise as he tries to free her, leading to violent confrontations and an escape attempt.
In a final twist, it is revealed that “Dr. Nair” was actually Vinayan, Nithya’s cousin and a psychiatric patient suffering from schizophrenia. Much of what was shown, including parts of the asylum and Lakshmi’s presence, were hallucinations. Vinayan is revealed to have committed murders in the past, while Nithya was not the killer. The real Dr. Kannan Nair later exposes Vinayan’s actions, while Vinayan and Nithya are ultimately shown living together in isolation.
