Alex Parayil, a writer and businessman, and his girlfriend Archana Pillai plan to take a weekend off with no cell phones, where Alex pledges Archana a surprise. En route, their car breaks down in the rain, and the couple attempt to take shelter at a nearby house. At the house, they are taken in by the owner of the house, who tells them the telephone line is not working on account of the storm and permits them to stay the night. The trio gets to talking during which the eccentric house owner criticizes Alex’s book, ‘‘Irul’’, based on a real-life serial killer who killed five women brutally, as being inaccurate and heavily imaginative, rather than relying on actual facts and information. He comments that the motive of the killer for the killing was out of inquisitiveness, whilst Alex's told it was due to vengeance against women.
