Ann invites Vivek's close friends to his home for their wedding anniversary and orchestrates a surprise gathering. Sudheesh, Ajith, Gopan, and Swathi travel from different places to join Vivek. The plan is to celebrate with the people Vivek grew up with in the same orphanage.

Ajith tries to photograph Vivek's reaction to seeing his friends, capturing the moment of surprise. The camera stops functioning unexpectedly, foreshadowing the strange events to come. The malfunction also draws attention to the fragility of the house's eerie atmosphere.

Vivek narrates the story of the foreign couple who once resided in the bungalow, explaining the locals' belief that the place is haunted by their spirits. His tale sets a suspenseful tone and primes his friends for the uncanny events to follow. The mention of mirrors not lasting in the house adds a supernatural motif.

Swathi decorates the hall for the celebration, but she slips from the stool while working. The near-accident subtly hints at the house's unsettled energy and foreshadows later dangers. The mood shifts from festive to ominous as odd occurrences begin to unfold.

A cupboard filled with sharp articles suddenly shifts, threatening Swathi. Ann is shown to suddenly suppress the danger with an unseen force, hinting at her powers. The incident intensifies the sense that something is wrong in the house.

Swathi notices that the haunting is centered on Ann and that she behaves strangely around the danger zones. Fear grips her as she begins to suspect something supernatural is at play. The other friends start considering clues that point to Ann's possession rather than a typical haunting.

Sudheesh and Gopan splash holy water on Swathi, hoping to cleanse her. To their shock, Swathi reveals that it is Ann who is possessed, not her. They realize the danger is rooted in Ann's spirit rather than any external force.

Swathi tells the others that Ann is possessed and not Swathi herself. The revelation dramatically shifts the group’s dynamic, forcing them to confront the reality of Ann's condition. They start considering how to protect Vivek from the truth.

Ann orders the trio not to inform Vivek about what they know and leaves the next day. The friends are left between fear and loyalty, unsure how to proceed with the man who still loves Ann. The house grows colder as the secret tightens its grip.

Ajith struggles to convince Vivek, showing him photographs that seemingly exclude Ann. When he tries to prove the truth, the pictures disappear or vanish, deepening the mystery. The inability to trust the evidence pushes him to seek a more convincing way to reach Vivek.

The friends decide to depart the house, but Sudheesh experiences a sudden stomach pain, forcing an emergency exit. Sudheesh's uncle, claiming to be a Brahmin who can drive away ghosts, arrives to help them handle the situation. The tension in the house escalates as the supernatural occurrences intensify.

Ajith drizzles holy water on the door before locking Ann inside, and the others hastily leave with Vivek. In the confusion, Sudheesh's uncle remains behind, which seems to set the stage for the house's sudden shift in atmosphere. The escape is fraught with fear and urgency.

Halfway through their escape, the friends realize Ann has escaped the room. They rush Vivek to a church to reveal the truth to him, hoping to awaken him to what is really happening. The church becomes a pivotal setting for truths to emerge.

In a crucial backstory, Vivek recounts the night Ann was in labor and the landline failed to reach help. They attempted to rush to the hospital, crashed their bike, and Ann fell from a cliff into the river while Vivek remained unconscious. He later discovers that Ann died, and her spirit remains with him.

A year after the ordeal, the friends meet again, now with Sudheesh's wife joining them. Ann comes to the present in a quiet, unseen way, and she brings Sudheesh's wife safely into the house. They all click a picture together, and Ann's voiceover says she would never appear in the photo, but the image would stay close to her heart.
