The story opens with a couple in a parking lot, establishing a normal family life. They have a son named Jeeva, which will become central to the unfolding events. The opening hints at hidden tensions that will pull the lives of multiple characters together.

Jeeva spots Jyotsana, also known as Jo, in a mall and the two instantly connect. Jo gives Jeeva her number, sparking their budding romance. The moment sets Jo and Jeeva on a path that will intersect with the troubled Srinivas–Swathi couple later in the story.

Jo invites Jeeva to her house and reveals that her favorite hobby is observing people and their interactions. She has been quietly focusing on the feud between Srinivas and Swathi and suspects Srinivas of abuse. This creates a connection between Jo’s observational interest and the looming mystery.

Jeeva accompanies Jo as she grows closer to him, and just as she is about to propose, a metal roof collapses and injures Jeeva’s hand. The accident abruptly interrupts their budding romance and forces them to confront the danger around them. The incident also foreshadows how fragile events can derail plans.

At Jo's request, Jeeva begins following Srinivas and talks to him while he is drunk to understand his story. Through these interviews, Jeeva realizes that Srinivas's life mirrors Jo’s in surprising ways, revealing a single intertwined fate. The two couples’ histories appear to be two sides of the same coin.

Jo notices Srinivas carrying an unconscious Swathi in his car to an unknown location and they break into Srinivas's house. They discover a file from a psychiatrist, which they suspect is connected to Swathi. Jeeva reveals that the file actually belonged to Swathi, linking their lives in a dangerous, parallel loop.

The couple meets a famous scientist who explains, using a matchbox metaphor, that Parallel Life causes the same past events to echo in Jo and Jeeva’s present. Changing events may cause future events to unfold now, making their choices dangerously consequential. The explanation deepens the sense of inevitability in their situation.

Returning to Jo’s apartment, Jo and Jeeva confirm that Swathi was murdered and that Srinivas took the blame. Jo breaks up with Jeeva under the weight of fear, but Jeeva’s mother convinces him not to give up. The emotional fallout intensifies as the truth about responsibility emerges.

Jeeva visits Srinivas in prison and he recounts how Swathi faced an accident, blamed Srinivas for it, and fell into depression, overdosing and being admitted to Olympus Hospitals. When Srinivas returns home, he finds Swathi dead with her throat slit. These revelations deepen the mystery and connect to Olympus Hospitals.

Jo’s call about suicide leads Jeeva to suspect a third person manipulating events. Using a garbage thief, he uncovers an infiltration that stole a hard disk and appears to be coordinated by Tarun, the MD of Olympus Hospitals. The trail ties Olympus Hospitals to both the accident and Swathi's murder.

They deduce that the cars present at pivotal moments belong to the same person, and the infiltrator works for Tarun. The investigation suggests that Tarun is central to the parallel life conspiracy and that Olympus Hospitals is complicit in the crimes.

Jo gains access to Swathi’s email and discovers a video clip that reveals the earlier accident’s truth. A nurse reveals the ventilator shortage that caused the deaths of the ambulance children, and Swathi records the truth and sends it to Srinivas. Tarun targets Jo after learning she’s seen the video and tries to delete it.

Tarun sends henchmen to kill Jo, but she escapes and is pursued; Jeeva infiltrates the enemy building and frees Jo from captivity. Tarun slits Jo’s throat, but Jeeva kills Tarun in a final confrontation. Olympus Hospitals is exposed as guilty, and Srinivas is exonerated. The lovers survive to reclaim their lives.
