Plot
The story focuses on the life of Christine, who comes across an old lady, Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) asking for an extension on her home loan. Putting her career aspirations ahead of the old woman's needs, Christine denies the extension, leaving Mrs. Ganush to face expulsion. Feeling humiliated and desperate, Mrs. Ganush positions a curse on Christine, declaring that she will be tortured by an effective demon for three days before being pulled into the intense pits of hell.

Christine's life soon spirals into a supernatural nightmare. She is haunted by disturbing visions and experiences terrifying situations. Attempting desperately to save herself, she looks for assistance from a psychic, Rham Jas (Dileep Rao). He recommends a seance to calm the spirit torturing her.

Obscene Ritual and a Spirit Named Lamia
Throughout the seance, it is revealed that the spirit is Lamia, understood for its cruelty. But the seance does not go as planned, resulting in the spirit's escape. Christine then finds through Rham Jas that her only possibility of survival is to utilize a button from her coat-- the object Mrs. Ganush originally utilized to curse her-- and pass the curse onto somebody else.
