In pandemic-time Noida, a Malayali couple records Reshmi at the glove factory to showcase her skills to prospective employers. They hope the video will help them migrate for a better life. This footage becomes the seed that triggers the investigation later.

Hareesh receives a WhatsApp video that splices Reshmi's ordinary work clip with a sexual act involving another woman. He decides to file a police complaint to prove his wife's innocence and clear her name.

The police discourage the complaint, telling them that the burden of proof rests on Reshmi and suggesting withdrawal. The lack of supportive action deepens the couple's sense of injustice.

Hareesh identifies a key clue, the bangle worn by a man in the video and the background B Block of the factory. He tails a factory driver believed to be part of a gang swapping new gloves with used ones, widening the investigation beyond personal grievances.

In the presence of their friend Sujaya and Sujaya's son, Hareesh sexually assaults Reshmi, a brutal act that upends their marriage and pushes Reshmi to live with a friend. The incident becomes a painful turning point in their relationship and the case.

Hareesh watches CCTV footage and sees Reshmi entering B Block, which reinforces his mistaken belief that she is the person in the video. The discovery spurs him to confront her.

Hareesh confronts Reshmi at home, attacks her, and pushes her out of the house. Reshmi begins living with a friend, unsettled by the turmoil between them. The personal crisis becomes intertwined with the unfolding corporate mystery.

Hareesh, Reshmi, and the factory owner form a team to investigate the glove-swap scheme. They gather evidence about irregularities at the company and begin to expose the broader fraud. The investigation shifts from personal blame to systemic wrongdoing.

Hareesh spots the bangle on the owner's hand and takes the team to a remote location under the pretense of showing a used glove godown. He assaults the owner there, triggering arrest and a police confrontation.

At the police station, the owner asserts that Hareesh did not attack him and that there are no formal complaints. The episode complicates the truth about who was in the video and raises questions about responsibility.

Hareesh learns the woman in the video is another worker who died by suicide or was killed after an affair with the owner's brother. This reframes the case from a simple infidelity to a cover-up and abuse within the company.

The owner proposes a Malaysia job if they withdraw the complaint. Reshmi refuses and demands a public notice that it was not Reshmi in the video and a chance to visit the victim's family, testing the price of justice.

Reshmi visits the victim's family; witnessing the mother's hardship convinces her to reject the compromise. She asserts that using a life as currency is unacceptable and stays firm on her stance.

Hareesh takes the Malaysia job, while Reshmi remains in Noida. A company noticeboard finally denies that the girl in the video was an employee, closing one thread of the case as the personal rift persists.
