In a rural village, Buttu, a struggling fish farmer, lives with his mother, Ratnamala, a sorceress. Yearning for better prospects elsewhere, Buttu is unable to leave due to financial constraints. Rinki, the village doctor's daughter, is in love with him. One night, while returning home, Buttu is possessed by the ghost of Amari (played by a National School of Drama, Delhi alumnus), a villager murdered by the community.
