Plot


The heroine is brought up by her elder sister but gets attracted to Hippie culture. Her elder sister's friend gives her a mini skirt and revealing top and she starts to get stalked. She is saved by a rich kind middle aged man whose only vice is call girls. She leaves his house and job though he has been decent and kind to her. She rejects the proposal of her new house owner who is a devout Murugan devotee and moves on. She gets gang raped on night and her life is in shambles. The kind man, her elder sister, hippie friend and the devotee back her up unquestioningly with the devotee wanting to marry her. He gets killed in a brawl while she is in altar. She gets her elder sister and hippie friend married and goes to live off with the kind man in an unnamed relationship which is hinted to be platonic.
