Abhi, who runs a music studio, is married to Aparna but is having an extramarital affair with Shirly. Tovino is a gym trainer who cajoles older women for gifts and is an aspiring playboy.

Arun is also involved with an under-age girl Diya, who herself has ulterior motives. His poor judgements make his life troublesome.
