Devi and Anitha are best friends that are in Anitha's home alone when a killer on the run (Vinoth) enters their home. He's running from the police after killing his ex-girlfriend and plans on hiding out at the house. The young women capture him and he's arrested but nurses a grudge against the two. Anitha is rich and funds Devi's education. Devi lives with her brother and sister-in-law. As her education is funded by Anitha, Devi feels a sense of obligation towards her friend. The two run into Anand, a happy-go-lucky dancer and Anitha falls for him. Anand, however, loves Devi and she reciprocates. Anand and Devi marry just as Vinoth escapes prison intent on getting revenge on the two women. Anitha and Devi must somehow escape Vinoth's clutches.
