STORY:
The story revolves around four spirited girls who embark on a weekend trip to Nagarjuna Sagar in search of fun and adventure. They book a private guest house and, as the sun sets, they indulge in the pleasures of the swimming pool. The arrival of a young boy working at the guest house adds an intriguing element to their escapades. The boy obliges their requests for drinks, cigars, and hookah, setting the stage for an eventful night.
However, the morning brings about a shocking turn of events. The girls wake up to find the boy unconscious in their midst, triggering panic and prompting them to hastily flee the guest house.

A conscientious witness reports the incident to the police, leading to an investigation spearheaded by CI Prabhakar and SI Vijay.
As the mystery unfolds, the movie skillfully weaves together multiple plotlines.
