The film begins with a creepy and mysterious scene of a woman killing an unknown person by strangling her. the scene then cuts to the next part, where a gangster has been released from prison and is heading towards a city with his accomplice. however, the tire of his car gets a flat tire while they are on an unknown, deserted road surrounded by farms. the accomplice proceeds to look for help for the car, and the mobster, left alone, notices some mysterious movements in the adjacent farms.

Arya notices this and informs Varun. he, despite the fact that he has not consciously noticed any events, has nightmares of a terrifying presence in the house. he also keeps receiving constant calls from a certain ‘vikram’, whose secret is later revealed. the housemaid, who brings her baby into the house, also begins to experience strange things.

Later, when Varun loses a big project, and at the same time Arya tries to convey to him that she feels a spirit is haunting the house, he dismisses her. Arya then calls her best friend Katrina (Devyanshi Kaushik), for help, and she tries an occult practice to find out if the house is haunted. The occult practice fails and soon the house experiences its worst and darkest occurrence – the maid’s baby dies in a gruesome way while they are in the house.

then we are also introduced to the character of raima das (shweta dadhicch), who is a teacher and has a background in the study of the paranormal. Arya approaches the professor for help, who confirms that a woman’s spirit is present in the house and that the spirit intends to kill Varun. she also says that it is not the house that is haunted, but varun. As Arya becomes gravely concerned, Varun insults and dismisses the professor’s theory. however, a super scary occurrence with him makes her want to take the professor’s help.

When Varun starts believing in the spirit’s presence, he narrates the story of his childhood to Arya. This childhood story contains the secret behind the hauntings and the name of the film and also connects to the first two opening scenes. Varun’s story has really some dark elements and takes us through moments that have ghastly and horrific occult practices. All of it adds up to the current time where Varun and Arya are facing the hauntings.
