Rishi (Adivi Sesh) is a workaholic working as an investment banker in the San Francisco in United States. After he mismanages a blind date setup by his friend, Rishi is desperate to stay away from relationships. He receives a voice mail left by his ex-girlfriend Shweta (Adah Sharma) who asks him for help but doesn't state what her problem is and asks him to come to India. Rishi leaves for India on the pretext of attending his cousin's marriage.During his journey he recalls his past where he meets Swetha four years ago in Vizag during his education and they both study at same college. Swetha accepts his love proposal but is rejected by her father. They both decide to marry at a temple but during marriage Swetha receives call from her father who is joined in hospital due to heart attack .Swetha then rejects Rishi due to the emotional blackmail by her father. Depressed Rishi leaves to America.Rishi arrives in Hyderabad and checks-in at the Marriott. He goes to meet Shweta at a restaurant, and hires a car from Babu Khan (Vennela Kishore) who is the owner of a rental car service. At the restaurant Rishi learns that Shweta has a daughter named Riya who was kidnapped while on her way to school. The kidnappers injured Shweta and escaped in her car in which she claims her daughter was. She tells Rishi that she had no help from the police or anyone else in finding her. Shweta asks Rishi to help her in finding her daughter to which Rishi agrees, and she says that her husband, Karthik(Satyadev Kancharana) has completely drowned himself in his work to forget about the incident. They both start by looking up the case file in the police station where the police state that the case has been closed due to lack of information and they cannot look up for information that doesn't exist. Rishi then visits the Riya's school from where Riya was kidnapped and talks to the school's principal about the kidnapping. The principal states that there was no kidnapping at all. Rishi reluctantly continues to look for Riya, and follows Bobby, Shweta's brother in law, who is involved with drugs and other illegal activities, after seeing Bobby in a CC camera across from the school the day before Riya was kidnapped. When Rishi follows Bobby, he sees him meet up with some Nigerians, and continues to follow the Nigerians to the location of a secret meeting, where Rishi shockingly sees Babu Khan dealing with them. After a confrontation, Babu Khan admits that he transports drugs from Bobby and his group to other locations and gets paid a vast amount to keep shut about the whole encounter.
