At a dance bar, Joseph, a rich but spoiled textile businessman, offers a trip to a brothel for himself and his three friends. They agree to go, but a quarrel between Joseph and Zechariah derails the plan and Joseph drops them off. The night ends with the group uncertain about what comes next.

Despite Josephs departure, Zechariah insists on taking both friends to the brothel, even though his sense of the route is shaky. They set out again in Josephs car, driven by ambition rather than caution. The decision sets the trio on a path that will lead them far from safety.

The next morning they travel toward the remote village and finally arrive in its outskirts. The men notice the villagers wary glances as they approach the huge house that houses the brothel. The journey marks a descent into a tense, dangerous environment.

The trio steps into Maluvamma's ancestral house, which doubles as a brothel, and is shocked by its size and atmosphere. Children play inside while an old man scribbles on a paper, paying them little heed. The uneasy calm foreshadows the trouble brewing around this place.

Inside they encounter a girl who is deaf and mute, who appears to be one of Maluvamma's prostitutes. Gopi is immediately drawn to her, while the others exchange wary glances. The scene reveals the brutal business operating behind the house's façade.

Devaki arrives, more ravishing and sensual, and informs them that Maluvamma has gone out with Gowrikutty and will return soon. The atmosphere grows tense as they anticipate the mistress's return and the arrival of other players in this dangerous game.

Bhaskaramenon enters and orders the guests to vacate, warning that a group of Muslims plans to attack the house. He shows the trio the injuries from a riot days earlier, underscoring the volatility of the village. The warning forces them to reconsider staying any longer.

On the way out, a mob of Muslims corners and verbally abuses them. Zechariah resists, prompting violence until the mob's leader calms the crowd and takes them to a tea stall to consult Moopan about their next move. The night air thickens with fear and tension.

The leader keeps the trio under custody and takes them to Moopan's house. Maluvamma persuades Moopan that Gowrikutty will be brought to him in a couple of days, and Moopan agrees to release the trio. The plan shifts as the village politics and power dynamics take center stage.

That night Maluvamma returns and allows Gopi to go to the deaf girl, while Zechariah settles to play cards with Devaki and the old man. Hilal remains nearby, drawing Gowrikutty into a separate space. The house becomes a stage for shifting loyalties and hidden agendas.

Hilal enters Gowrikutty's room and finds her desperate; she reveals she was sold to Maluvamma after her father's death and was brought into the brothel against her will. She explains she refused clients and was brutally assaulted, living in fear of being exploited. Hilal vows to save her and marry her.

Narayanan arrives with a demand to release Gowrikutty. Maluvamma agrees to release Gowrikutty to him later that night, and Narayanan leaves to assemble more men for the attack. The threat of violence looms larger as the clock ticks.

Narayanan returns with a dozen goons and Moopan's henchmen clash, triggering a riot around the house. Zechariah seizes the moment to stab Bhasi, prompting Maluvamma to come out and the attempt to control chaos. Gowrikutty's fate hangs in the balance as the violence escalates.

In the ensuing chaos, Zechariah is attacked by Narayanan and stabbed to death. The crowd's fury intensifies as the trio tries to escape with Gowrikutty. The death of Zechariah marks a turning point in their bid for safety.

Gopi and Hilal manage to get Gowrikutty away to a safe place while Zechariah's death weighs on them. Gopi decides to return to the house to learn Zechariah's fate, calling out his friend's name, but there is no response. The trio's escape ends with uncertainty and loss.
