Vetri (Ashok Selvan) studies criminology course and possesses great observation skills, and this makes his professor Govardhan (Rajan Iyer) to insist him taking up a detective job. Vetri gets a job in a private detective agency and leaves to Chennai to meet his professor and get blessings. He joins the detective agency and his bosses are Sadagoppan (Pradeep Nair) and Sailesh (Jayakumar). Vetri stays with his close friend Nambi (Kaali Venkat).

Vetri is given a task of collecting information about a few people by following them secretly. He does his job with great passion and loves it to the maximum. Meanwhile, he meets Madhusree (Janani Iyer) and develops an attraction towards her immediately. Vetri gets all the information about the three guys assigned to him and submits the reports to his bosses.

Vetri’s next assignment is to gather information about Madhu. Vetri is excited on this and starts following her. Despite a rule that detectives are not allowed to get in touch with the persons they follow, Vetri is tempted to get introduced to Madhu. Vetri introduces himself as a jobseeker to Madhu and they become good friends. Slowly love blossoms between the two.

Suddenly, one of the guys, about whom Vetri has gathered some information, is killed mysteriously. Vetri meets his bosses and request the client details of those who requested to follow him but they convince him giving some reasons. Similarly one more guy is also killed. Now Vetri’ doubts increase seeing the sequence of murders. Vetri calls up the third person he has followed before and wants to meet him. But the third person is also killed while he is on the way to meet Vetri.

Vetri worries fearing Madhu’s death as she was his next assignment and decides to protect her. Police while investigating finds that Vetri was the last person who called the third person before death and comes for investigation. Madhu gets shocked knowing that Vetri is a detective and thinks that he pretended as loving her to get some info.
