The film portrays the struggle of Tithi, a young girl from a lower-middle-class family. Tithi takes up the job of a call girl to support her family. With time, the economic condition of the family changes, but slowly Tithi becomes very much aloof and indifferent to everything. She takes refuge in solitude.
