One night, while returning home, Buttu is possessed by the ghost of Amari (played by a National School of Drama, Delhi alumnus), a villager murdered by the community. The possession triggers a chain of eerie and suspenseful events, as the ghost-inhabited Buttu interacts with Rinki and Ratnamala, creating moments of fear and mystery.
