Premise

A group of six friends ordered a pizza, where the members started teasing Fazna (Nadhiya Hassan) as phasmophobic, though none of the members, except for Suheil, believes that ghosts do really exist. To validate Suehil's point, they agree to perform a ritual called "Badi Edhuru" where the ghost shall appear if they pronounce the phrase thrice in a row. Soon after, the friends leave the house and they all start experiencing horror incidents. At first, disguised as Nafiu, Farish is killed by throwing him from the terrace of his seven-storey building. Hudha, a daughter from a conservative family, is approached and killed by Badi Edhuru in disguise as her boyfriend, Nizam, by bleeding her to death. Him being the next target, dies in a road accident while Fazna is murdered by drowning her into the sea in a low tide. Suheil, who comes home after dropping Fazu, finds a videotape which shows Badi Edhuru in a corner after the friends performed the ritual is killed by stabbing himself to death.

The only member of the friends, Nasih (Ismail Rasheed), who did not participate in the ritual, is approached by Police where he is interrogated as the prime suspect for the murder of his friends. The behavior of the victims and their crime scene does not correlate which makes him anxious on their cause of death, while the Police believes he has a major contribution in their murder. Nasih begins to recollect the memory of that night where he, himself perform the ritual while in police custody.
