Two young journalists Lanti and Bunty arrive in Kirindiwela to write a feature on devil dancing and exorcist rituals. They chase rumors and begin shaping their travel piece as the village hums with legends. The first days establish the tone of mystery and danger that will follow.

Their investigation is interrupted when a woman possessed by a spirit hysterially pursues them through the streets. They retreat, unsettled, realizing the danger is more real than the legends. The incident marks the first brush with the village's supernatural history.

Seeking safety, they flee into the jungle and find a small, quiet house that stands as a beacon of refuge. The place feels unsettled yet inviting, hinting at the village's hidden past. Inside, a sense that they are being watched grows stronger.

Inside the house, exorcist Elaris Appuhami reveals his hospitality but also a troubling aura around the village rituals. He introduces Tikiri as his domestic helper, sparking the journalists' curiosity. The dynamic between the exorcist, Tikiri, and the outsiders begins to bind the plot.

Bunty, ever curious, snaps a photo of the pretty Tikiri, and the moment seeds a deeper intrigue about her role in the village. The image unsettles Lanti as unease creeps in about their host's motives. The shot becomes a symbol of hidden truths to come.

Shortly after, Tikiri begins following the journalists wherever they go, and their attempts to shake her off fail. The line between host and haunting blurs as the public encounter becomes personal and threatening. The trio grows wary of a malevolent force masquerading as a helper.

Desperation pushes them to seek protection from the village temple's Chief Priest. He reveals a chilling truth: Tikiri is not a girl but an evil spirit disguised as a human. The revelation reframes their entire investigation and the stakes grow immeasurably higher.

The Chief Priest proposes a grim bargain: they must return after months to help raise a temple bell pole, a task that will allow them to confront the evil with divine aid. The journalists reluctantly accept, hoping the delay will shield them. The plan suggests a cycle of time and ritual that might grant them power against Tikiri.

Back home, the trauma dulls and the obligation to return is forgotten as seasons slip by. Tikiri's presence lingers in the shadows, hinting that the danger has not disappeared. The village's dark history continues to echo in the journalists' lives.

Three months since the bargain, Tikiri reappears with renewed force, taking control of the house, Chaminda as roommate, office colleagues, and even a local gang. The world around them spirals into chaos as her power expands beyond a simple haunting. An alcoholic god figure appears, watching the scene with confusion, adding a surreal layer to the nightmare.

A magical instrument that lets them visualize the true faces of spirits and humans becomes essential as they confront the escalating menace. When the instrument peaks, it proves Tikiri is no ordinary girl but a devil in disguise. The god's intervention falters as the truth solidifies.

Remembering the temple and its bell, they rush back to mobilize a community effort to finish the bell tower. The Chief Priest blesses the team with holy water and sacred ritual objects, promising to banish the evil once and for all. The plan grounds their courage in faith and tradition.

With holy water mixed into the house's water tank and the magical spectacles, they unleash a spray that reveals and expels the devils from the party. The devils scream and scatter, but Tikiri remains stubborn. Bunty's decisive move scatters the last resistance as Tikiri flees.

A remaining drop of holy water gives them a final chance as they roam the city with the spectacles, confronting devils wherever they appear. The night ends on an eerie note, with a caged bat lingering as the credits roll. The duo's fight against darkness continues beyond the village and into the urban night.
