Jessi is the daughter of Panchayat president Oomachan and is a BDS final year student. She is saved by John from an attempted suicide after failing in final exam. Jessi and John gets to know each other and ends up in a romantic relationship. John helps Jessi to produce a fake degree certificate by taking a mortgage loan to meet the expense. Later, Jessi breaks up with John after getting a marriage proposal from wealthy fashion photographer Peter and realising that John's income would not match her needs. After, she goes abroad for job.

Jessi returns to homeland and her marriage with Peter is being arranged. In meantime, Jessi had found out that Peter is actually an erotic photographer. She extorts money from his father in exchange for not exposing Peter. It is revealed that Peter had already known about her fake certificate and intimidate her when she tries to break up with him. Meanwhile, the bank foreclose John's home.
