Malini (Mohini), is a Sri Lankan refugee, who has taken shelter in a refugee camp in India. When a camp guard tries to molest her, a local man called Raja (Prashanth) comes to her rescue. They start meeting frequently and soon fall in love. When refugees are ordered back to Sri Lanka, Malini goes. Unable to bear the separation, Raja decides to swim to Sri Lanka, but on reaching shore he is arrested by coastal guards who think he is a terrorist. Raja manages to escape from captivity and find Malini.
