The protagonist, a forest officer (played by Sarath Kumar), is dispatched to the village to investigate the sudden ecological imbalance and the rising death toll. He is assisted by a young man (Hamsavardhan) who has a personal vendetta against the village headman. As they dig deeper, the narrative peels back layers of a dark secret: the village was built on land stolen from a tribal community. The tribe’s healer, a woman with profound knowledge of herbs and venoms, was brutally murdered years ago. Her dying curse transformed her spirit into a "Nanjuppei" — a venomous ghost that uses the forest’s snakes as her instruments of revenge.
