Premise

Part one

Ali (Ali Riyaz), a naturalist and the helpless younger brother of a blind man, Yoosuf Shafeeu spends most of his time at the beach, enjoying the nature. One day, he finds a beautiful shell near the seashore and equates himself with the shell for its "dead nature". He further confesses that if the shell has any element alive in it, he is desperate to marry the shell even, unbeknownst to him that a spirit is residing in the shell. The following day he wakes up to a female sobbing sound which was echoed again through the same shell, that evening. Followed by the curiosity, he brings the shell to his home. The voice, who believes to be married to Ali, communicates to him and begs to help her.

Part two

On the fourteenth night of an ecclesiastical lunar month, Ali witnesses the real form of the woman (Fathimath Fareela) trapped in the shell. Astonished by her beauty, Ali promises to help her and seeks help from an exorcist, Hussain (Ahmed Shahid). His rescue mission takes an unexpected turn when Ali discovers the involvement of his brother.
