Plot

The story starts calmly with simple things happening in a folk village near Anuradhapura. Rathane Aiya (Somi Rathnayaka) portrays a saintly person who lives in the neighborhood of a mother and two sons Jayasena (Nalin Pradeep) and Siripala (Pubudu Chathuranga). The day before the poya, Siripala kills his older brother. Rathne is the prime suspect and arrested. He is sentenced to death on the gallows.

While awaiting death, he confesses his bad behavior during his past. He thrived in terrorising the village with ill-gotten money and power. He came there to evade punishment for a double murder. Since then he has tried to live a good life, putting his past behind him, becoming a 'good samaritan' who is respected by all. Siripala gets shot and confesses that he killed Jayasena.
