On March 9, 2005, a schoolgirl loses her life in a drowning incident at the river near the village. The tragedy is presented as a quiet horror whose memory continues to haunt the community. The event casts a long shadow that resonates through the generations that follow.

In the morning of March 20, 2020, Kokila is found unconscious and rushed to the hospital, where doctors declare she has died from a sleeping-pill overdose. The death fractures the family and triggers a rumor mill about foul play. The uncle Naatrayan grows convinced there is more to the story than a tragic accident.

Following Kokila's death, Naatrayan becomes convinced that foul play is involved. He uncovers Kokila's quarrels with Eeshwaran and rumors of an affair with Priya, along with hints of manipulated medical records. Kokila's parents insist on Eeshwaran's innocence while the investigation tightens around the family dynamics.

Whispers circulate that Eeshwaran is involved with Priya, with both women seen in proximity at a lodge. Priya is perceived as hiding something, and she later burns medical reports to divert suspicion from Eeshwaran. The act deepens mistrust and complicates the inquiry into Kokila's death.

As Kokila's pregnancy advances, Kokila's parents push Priya to move away to Coimbatore for a fresh start, while Eeshwaran had suggested the idea. Priya resists, insisting that her happiness lies with him. The tension surrounding her place in the family fuels the growing tragedy.

During Kokila's pregnancy, she inadvertently poisons her baby with an apple-seed paste, and the infant dies. The loss drives Kokila into a deep depression and intensifies the strain on her marriage. This tragedy amplifies suspicion and guilt within the family.

Priya brings Kokila to the hospital without Eeshwaran's knowledge, hoping to manage the fallout. She also burns the medical records to divert suspicion away from him. The act further erodes trust and complicates the path of justice.

In a drunken turn, Naatrayan abducts Priya and intends to hang her, convinced she is Kokila's killer. The struggle reveals Naatrayan's own culpability for the subsequent tragedies. The danger surrounding the families escalates dramatically.

During a minor quarrel, Kokila pushes her childhood friend Chitra off a bridge, resulting in Chitra's death. Naatrayan later covers up the incident, further entangling the families in lies and guilt. The act adds another layer of tragedy to the saga.

On the anniversary of Chitra's death, Kokila's own child dies, which she interprets as divine retribution. This loss deepens the family's sorrow and fuels lingering guilt about past actions. The emotional weight continues to shape the community's memory of the events.

Months later, Muthu confronts Eeshwaran and demands to know who suggested the apple-seed paste. A witness confirms that Chitra was pushed, and blackmail threads pull Naatrayan deeper into danger. The truth begins to surface as the families' fates become more tightly linked.

Naatrayan pushes his ally to reveal the truth to Muthu. In the wake of the revelations, Muthu contemplates killing Kokila as revenge for the cascade of tragedies, but Eeshwaran argues that revenge is not right. Kokila's mother bears the heavy burden of loss as guilt and fear continue to reverberate.

In March 2021, another schoolgirl is seriously injured in a car crash, a tragedy that further binds the fates of the families. The girl involved is revealed to be Muthu's daughter, intertwining generations and raising the emotional stakes for all involved. Medical staff speak of slim chances for survival as prayers go up.

Overwhelmed by grief and the weight of the past, Muthu ends his own life in the hope that his daughter will survive the accident. His death underscores the film's somber meditation on how long-buried choices echo through time. The community is left to confront the cost of hidden secrets.
