Plot
Two of the main characters are twin sisters Naduli and Sanuli. Naduli and Nisal are in a relationship but suddenly after an unfortunate accident Naduli dies. Sanuli believes that she is to blame for her sister’s death as it is due to her mistake that Naduli meets with an untimely death. She suffers mentally. Naduli’s soul takes advantage of Sanuli’s mental state and takes over her body with the hope of reuniting with Nisal.
The twin’s parents, Nisal and a renowned professor try their best to exorcise Naduli’s soul out of Sanuli’s body. When they believe that they have almost succeeded the story takes an unexpected turn.
