The film's story revolves around a sales representative who falls in love with a student. He accepted to separate from his lover, for one year to test their love endurance. The youth doesn't find her after the delay as promised. The love turns into hatred and revenge, until he sees his soul mate.

The story begins with Surya (Vignesh) walks lonely during the Valentine's day. He shaves his hair and his moustache then he takes a container lorry. He starts to remember his happy past during the travel.

Surya was a sales representative and worked with his friend Pichamuthu (Chinni Jayanth). His family, even knowing he played Kabaddi and often got into fights, was very kind with him. He saw one day, Rishaba (Uma), a college student, at the bus stop, who advised a smoker not to smoke because it distributed non-smokers and it would cause cancer to him. Surya was amazed by her words, so he dropped his cigarette and decided to stop smoking.
