After her father suffers a debilitating stroke, Latha (Rekha) takes over the family business. She receives a blackmail call from a stranger named Raji, who threatens to expose embarrassing details unless she pays ₹500,000. Uncertain how to handle the threat, Latha hires Captain Hariharan, a private detective. The case takes a dark turn when Raji is found murdered, followed by Latha’s cousin Suresh. Hariharan’s investigation uncovers evidence that could implicate Latha or her sister Malini, leaving everyone to wonder if the sisters would commit murder to protect their father’s reputation.
