The story is about Prem Krishnan (Shankar) coming to the hills of Kodaikkanal on work, meeting and falling in love with Prabha (Poornima Jayaram) whom he knows little about. Later, he realises that she is married when her husband, Narendran (Mohanlal) comes into the picture. Narendran is a sadistic husband. The film ends on a sad note, with Prem Krishnan committing suicide after killing Narendran, saddened by the loss of Prabha, who was killed by Narendran.
