The story begins with a 90-year-old man explaining how he had freed scores of people possessed with the ghosts in his life. As part of that, he starts telling a story about a villa called 'House No.13'. He narrates the story of Arjun, who is a writer. One day, Arjun receives a call from the publisher who had printed one of his novels to inform him that the book has sold over 10 lakh copies. As a reward to this achievement, Arjun is gifted with a Villa by the publisher. Arjun asks the publisher to give the keys to his brother Sanjay, and Sanjay along with his wife, Nitya and maid Jejamma enters the house. Later on Arjun and Nitya’s brother also enters the house, everything goes on smoothly for a while and after that the twists begin to reveal. Nitya starts seeing objects masked in a white coat and she gets mentally disturbed and her behavior gets strange. Nitya’s husband takes her to a psychiatrist to solve her problem. However, the doctor also experiences something similar. Then Gajanand (Anandraj) enters the field. Who is this Gajanand, who are the people masked in the white coats, did he solve the mystery and make the rest of the story.

Apart from the problems shown in regular horror movies, they tried to show something new. The second half feels more gripping and thrilling than the first half.
