Durga (Amala Paul), a police officer and Adhi (Rahul Vijay), a delivery boy, find themselves in a time loop and relive a day's incidents. When they try to break the cycle they end up with new problems. How they overcome the problems and (if they could) get out of the time loop forms the crux of the story.
