Roshni Menon (Huma Qureshi), an IT professional in Bangalore, is friends with Deepa (Sona Nair). Their paths diverge when Deepa moves to New York, and Roshni accepts a job in London under manager Anwar Rasool (Shanker Ramakrishnan).

Six months later, Roshni encounters a drunk businessman, Prakash Roy (Mammootty), trying to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train. She manages to save him but leaves him behind after realizing that the man is intoxicated. Later, Prakash's butler, Raymond (John Millichap), contacts Roshni after using CCTV footage of the incident to find her. When Roshni visits Prakash, she assumes that he is a womanizer and storms off. She accidentally takes his wallet as she is leaving. Prakash contacts Roshni to retrieve his wallet, suggesting they meet at the cemetery.
