A sequence of murder takes place in the city and a cop steps in to investigate them. Meanwhile, Shiva leaves a mental asylum. It is concluded that a lunatic is behind all these murders. Siva (Kanal Kannan) manages to enter the house of a film director (Livingston). His wife is all alone. She suspects him to be the mentally-challenged man on murder trail. Meanwhile, the police zeroes in on a psychiatrist doctor (Khushbu) to be responsible for the murder. In the court, she spills the beans that a young girl who had a disturbed childhood was indeed responsible for the deaths, she is shown to have been molested by a police officer, her first adoptive father.

The Hindu wrote "The script lacks cohesion and many questions remain unanswered. Every main character has a past and the director’s bid to weave them into the story results in utter confusion."
