An Indian couple residing on a remote Scottish island encounters unsettling paranormal disturbances in their home. At the film's start, Neha is found drowning and is rescued, but she loses her memory.
Her husband, Romesh, the heir to the island, informs her that they had planned to convert their mansion into a hotel before her accident. As they resume the hotel's renovations, Romesh reassures Neha that her memory will return in time.
Despite his dismissals, Neha continues to experience supernatural events. These occurrences lead her to uncover secrets, including the mysterious death of Romesh's father, played by Rahul Dev. While grappling with amnesia, Neha meets various new characters who reveal clues about her past suspicions that Romesh is involved in the strange happenings and possibly an accomplaise in her father-in-law's death.
The film captures Neha's journey to solve the unexplained phenomena while navigating her mistrust of Romesh and her conflicted feelings of love and constant bodily desire for him.
