Avinash (Avinash J) and Swati (Swathi Konde) are childhood friends who meet after many years as grown-up adults. Swati has a brother named Praveen, who loves Lavanya.
Avinash and Swati start spending time together. One rainy day Avinash finds Swati standing on an isolated railway over-bridge in front of a dead body. Swati is badly terrified and not in a condition to utter a single word. Avinash throws the body on the railway tracks, drops Swati at her home, and returns to his home.
When Avinash calls Swati on next morning, he finds her phone unreachable or switched off. In the meantime, the police team finds the dead body.
The case incharge (Ravishankar Gowda) learns about a red car that belongs to Avinash. He visits Avinash's house and finds it locked. However, he inquires from the neighbor-cum-friend of Avinash (Girish Shivanna), who informs Avinash about the police investigation.
In the meantime, police find the dead body of Lavanya, the love interest of Praveen, brother of Swati. Praveen also goes missing.
The rest of the film narrates a web of mystery that unfolds in the climax with twists and turns.
