Many years ago, a woman beats her young son with a cane because he insists on marrying their neighbour’s daughter, Munni, who is seven years older than him. On the same day as Munni’s wedding, the boy’s head is shaved as part of a ritual. Enraged by Munni’s marriage, the boy attempts a black magic ritual to win her over. He tries to sacrifice his younger sister but ends up dying when she defends herself.

The villagers warn the boy’s mother that her son will become a Munjya – a child ghost – if further rituals are not performed. Priests try to bind the boy’s spirit to the tree near which he died. Years later, a nerdy boy named Bittu returns to his hometown for his cousin Rukku’s wedding. He learns that his father was killed trying to cut down the tree where Munjya was bound. Bittu visits the tree and is captured by Munjya. His grandmother, Aaji, tries to save him.
