Raheem (Shakthi Vasudevan) and his well-trained pigeon Saara are alone in a coach aboard a train when a blind man enters and reaches to door. Raheem saves the man, a killer, who in turn throws Raheem off the moving train to his death. Raheem's death is ruled a suicide, but Raheem's fiancee Sangeetha (Vaishali Deepak) knows that Raheem had no reason to kill himself. The same night, Raheem appears in Sangeetha's dream and says that he was murdered. The following day, Raheem's case is forwarded to the CID Shiva at Sangeetha's request.
Shiva (Shiva Rajkumar) is a strict CID officer who is married to a thrill-seeker named Sita (Vedhika). The two live near a cemetery. Shiva is assigned Raheem's case and begins the investigation. The same night, Satya sees a ghost of child, and Satya is frighted by this. Shiva, however, cannot see that ghost and thinks that Satya is imagining it. The following day, Shiva visits Raheem's home to investigate Raheem's relationship with his father and with Sangeetha. Shiva suspects Sangeetha's father (Avinash) is responsible for Raheem's death.
