Malini (Nithya Menon) is a nursing student in Bangalore with plans of traveling to Canada for a career. She meets Varun (Krish J. Sathaar) from the travel consultancy agency working towards setting up her visa. They soon fall in love and start living together. Malini loves him with all her heart and takes their relationship and living together seriously.
One day while at a pub, a guy misbehaves with Malini and Varun beats him up badly. The guy tries to take revenge on Varun and searches for him. Varun goes into hiding with the help of his boss Prakash (Naresh). Prakash arrives at Varun's home to inform Malini about the situation. Then he asks her plainly "Can I have sex with you?" A shocked Malini is then brutally attacked and raped. When Varun finds out what happened, he becomes violent and wants to kill Prakash. Malini calms him down saying that she does not want to make the incident worse than it is; she instead wants to get to Canada at the earliest. Once Malini recovers from her injuries, Prakash visits her again to ask for forgiveness. He comes while Varun is not around and rapes her for a second time. Malini decides not to travel abroad and plans to murder Prakash.
Varun discusses the situation with his boss who suggests killing Malini and appoints Varun to do it. Varun traps her by putting some drugs in her bag. The police arrest Malini and she is imprisoned. While Malini calls out for help, she finds Varun simply walking away from her, which is when she realises Varun set her up. Varun relocates to Chennai and runs a modeling agency. While in prison Malini meets Janaki (Janaki) who is sentenced for murder. Through Janaki's criminal world connections Malini realizes that Varun, is a known pimp and was cheating her along with the support of his boss Prakash. Janaki and Malini bond well with each other, and Janaki moulds a criminal mindset within her for the strength and courage needed to strike back at Varun and Prakash.
