Kumara [Dasun Pathirana] works as an orderly at a hospital, a role that quietly grants him access to the morgue and the chance to observe the bodies of young women brought there. One day, the body of Tharuka Wijesinghe [Chamathka Lakmini], a beautiful and desirable actress, arrives, and the sight unsettles him in a way that he cannot easily explain.
