On what he expected to be a typical day, Prasad, a reluctant pimp, must investigate the sudden disappearance of his network’s most demanded prostitute, Nimmi. Just hours before, a nervous young man named Mathi was preparing to admit to his lifelong friend that he has always identified as a woman and that he has always been in love with him. While Prasad questions how he landed in this business, his guilty conscience fuels him to locate Nimmi and eventually leads him to Mathi, who is busy dealing with the repercussions of his confession. Mathi is left wondering why it is so difficult for people to accept that he was simply born in the wrong body.
