Once Shuvo rushes to a hospital where his friend is admitted as he tried to commit suicide by drinking nail polish solution and asks the reason for it. Then he describes about the traits of Maria and her uncle Buddhadev. The duo have a habit of cheating gullible young men including his friend and Shuvo decides to teach them a lesson. Shuvo enters their life as a gullible youngster and starts torturing them. Maria's uncle's plans and attempts always go in vain before him.
