Meenu lives with her middle-aged father Ravi, a specially-abled village officer. As the stranger starts keeping a close watch on her, Meenu finds herself caught in a frightening series of encounters. At the same time, she struggles with challenges in her martial arts training, difficulties in her personal life, and a lack of urgency from the local authorities.
