Plot

Madhiazhagan, a dejected aspirant filmmaker, finds himself in trouble when he wakes up to find that Malarvizhi, with whom he spent some time the last night, has been killed at her room. Quite distressed with seeing himself tied to a chair and the girl with her veins brutally cut, Madhi tries to recollect how he met Malar the last night at a pub while he was drunk. After regaining some consciousness, he starts searching her room as he was desperate to know more about her. He also realises the importance of clearing off the evidence regarding his presence in the room and starts acting accordingly. Meanwhile, he happens to listen to the conversations of neighbouring roommates in the flat and decides to escape from the room before getting caught. What happens next, is the rest of the film..
