One day, Latha and her daughters meet with an accident and is admitted in a hospital with multiple organ failure. The doctor (Chandrasekhar) informs Kamarasu that Latha needs a heart transplant immediately while her daughters need other organ transplants such as liver, eyes etc. Kamarasu requests the doctor to take his organs thereby saving Latha and her daughters for which the doctor does not agree.
