Surya visits his ancestral village, Rudravanam, only to find it gripped by fear following a series of mysterious and gruesome deaths. The village elders believe a curse has been cast due to ancient occult practices and decide to seal the village boundaries. Surya, a man of logic and science, initially dismisses the supernatural claims but soon realizes that a dark ritual from the past is indeed at play. As the body count rises and the mystery deepens, he must race against time to uncover the truth behind the black magic and save the villagers, including his love interest Nandini, from an impending doom.
