The story starts as a girl tells her therapist about a ghost she sees at the house she maids for.
A little girl named Nid has a toy monkey. When she goes to bed, and no one is around,
the monkey starts making noises and walking around. Only the maid can see him. She is
too terrified to continue the job, so she asks Nid’s mother, Uma, to let her go.
Uma promises Nid she will find another maid for her. Uma is the wife of a very wealthy man Nirach.
Their only child is Nid. The couple does not have a good relationship but are still together.
The maid tells her therapist that she also sees the spirit of a girl in the house. Nid and the
maid are the only ones who can see her. Uma and Nirach are worried about Nid and her
delusions. She is diagnosed with dementia. That night, Uma goes to her husband’s office and finds
some pictures hidden inside a book. The following day, a new maid named Joy arrives at the house.
The head maid, Wan, shows her around the house and introduces her to Nid. Nid is a shy kid.
She doesn’t talk very much but loves to draw. She has also never been out of the house. Wan
tells Joy that the only way for her to survive in this house is by minding her own business.
The house driver, Chai, then shows Joy the place she is supposed to stay at.
Joy is surprised to get a whole house to herself. She sees Chai off and starts unpacking.
That night, she stands in front of the mirror posing in her new maid uniform when she sees
someone going upstairs. Joy takes a candle stand and tries to see who it is. A person
stands on top of the stairs, but Joy is too afraid to approach them. She goes back to her
room and thinks of her last job. She was a maid for a foreign family before she got this job.
That night Joy has nightmares about someone standing at her door. The following day is
Joy’s first day on the job. She meets Uma first thing in the morning. Uma asks her why she had
left her last job as a maid, to which Joy says because the family left for their country.
One of Joy’s jobs is to take care of Nid. She puts her to sleep by singing a song her sister used
to sing when she was little. As she is about to leave the room, Joy senses someone standing in the
corner. But when she turns around, there is no one there. Later, she is taking the
laundry out when she runs into Nirach. He asks for her name but doesn't say anything else.
Joy, Wan, and the other housemaid Bhorn are in the kitchen. Bhorn asks Joy her favorite song and
dances as she plays one herself. Wan offers Joy chocolate that Uma has gifted them to share.
That night, Joy and Nid are in the bathroom. Nid takes a bubble bath while Joy plays with her when
all of a sudden, Nid sees someone at the door. Joy checks to see someone standing behind her through
the mirrors. When they get out, Joy asks Nid if she sees the person too. Nid agrees. She wants
Joy to read her a bedtime story. While searching for a book, she finds the one her sister used to
read for her. Nid soon falls asleep listening to Joy. But after she leaves, Nid wakes up
and comes face to face with the ghost. The next day, Joy snoops through the library
and finds some pictures. One of them is a picture of Uma, Nirach, and another maid.
Just then, she looks up to see the ghost she had seen yesterday. It looks very much like the
girl in the picture. Scared, she runs outside and comes across Nid standing at the door of
her room. The ghost pulls Nid inside and locks the door. As Joy looks through the glass door,
Nid appears behind her, but the spirit is still inside. She takes Nid with her and runs away.
Joy and Nid tell everything that has happened to Uma, but no one takes them seriously. She shows
Uma the picture she found and tells her that the ghost looks like the maid, only to be dismissed
by her. After everyone leaves, Uma stares at the maid in the picture. Her name is Ploy.
She used to work there almost six years back. Nirach and Uma’s relationship was not great at the
time, which made Uma very lonely. In those times, Ploy was her only friend. Their friendship grew
with time, and Uma became very affectionate with Ploy. One day when Nirach stayed out for work,
Uma and Ploy had sex. Uma looks at the picture, reminiscing about her best friend.
The following day, Joy asks her maid friends about Ploy’s disappearance. Wan scolds her for
prying into others' business, but Bhorn tells her that Ploy disappeared one day and never returned.
She also asks the driver Chai the same question, to which he says that more than a maid,
Ploy used to be Uma’s only friend. But she disappeared one day and never came back. Later,
Joy hears Uma scolding Nid for her drawings. Joy notices that most of her drawings have three
people in them. She asks Nid who they are. She answers that those are her parents and the maid.
Joy is shocked but doesn't say anything. Next, Joy sees Ploy’s spirit in Nirach’s office
while passing by and tells him about it, but he dismisses her as well. Then he sits
down and stares at Ploy’s picture. As he does that, he reminisces of Ploy. She comes into
his office to offer him tea. It is clear that Nirach is attracted to her. A few days later,
Ploy comes into his office again. She asks him if she can borrow a book. He
stands behind her as she picks one. One thing leads to another, and they end up having sex.
Both Uma and Nirach had affairs with Ploy. That night as Joy is putting Nid to sleep,
they are haunted by Ploy again. This time, Ploy leads Joy to various parts of the house to tell
her what happened to her six years ago. First, they are at Nirach’s office. There Joy sees Ploy
telling Nirach that she is pregnant with his child. Both of them are happy. Next, she sees
Uma and Nirach discussing the matter. They are delighted that the house will have a child. Then,
Nirach is taking care of a pregnant Ploy. She also sees Ploy singing to her newborn. Joy realizes
that Nid is, in fact, Ploy’s daughter. Ploy goes to the bathroom to prepare a bath
for Nid. She hears Nid cry midway and rushes to see her. But since the floor is slippery,
she falls and hits her head. The blood forms a pool on the floor, but no one comes to her help.
Uma finally sees her lying there, but instead of helping her, she closes the door to let her die
and takes Nid with her. Sometime later, Nirach comes and assumes Ploy is dead. Chai, Bhorn, and
Wan help Nirach wrap her body in plastic and bury her outside the house. But as they are digging,
Ploy starts to move. She is still alive, but no one notices. Eventually, they bury her alive.
Joy realizes that the whole family has lied to her up until now. She starts singing the
song her sister used to sing for her. Ploy comes behind her and starts singing as well.
Ploy happens to be Joy’s elder sister. She left home to work years ago. Joy used to
send her lots of letters, but eventually, she stopped replying and disappeared.
Next, we see Joy talking to her therapist. She asks Joy several questions about her job.
Joy happily tells her that she has recently been appointed by a family because her last clients
moved back to their country. But in reality, she had killed the previous family she worked for.
Joy is actually a psychopath who has come here to avenge the family that killed her sister.
Everyone at the house is preparing for Uma’s upcoming birthday party.
They get ready for the evening. While Joy is getting ready, we see her preparing an injection.
The guests arrive at the house, and the couple greets them. They display grand fireworks. Joy
and Chai are in the car watching it. She asks him again about Ploy; he lies again.
Joy then takes a plastic bag and suffocates him to death. Next, she goes into the kitchen where
Bhorn is cutting vegetables and asks her about Ploy too. Meanwhile, at the party, Uma asks
Wan to tell Chai to prepare the car for guests. Although Uma and Nirach’s relationship is rocky,
they seem to have made amends for the day. He compliments her, and they have a nice chat.
In the kitchen, however, Bhorn wakes up tied to a chair. Joy is working behind. She notices Bhorn is
up and tells her that she knows they helped Uma and Nirach to dispose of Ploy's body. Joy drugs
the wine to be served to the guests. Wan sees dead Chai and freaks out. But before she can tell
anyone, Joy injects her with a drug to kill her. She then leaves her beside Chai’s dead body in the
car. Joy then goes in and happily serves wine to the guests. Uma watches her as she does that.
She goes back to the kitchen and apologizes to Bhorn for being late. Joy maniacally plays
the song they talked about on her first day and dances in front of her. She is wearing a
transparent raincoat. Suddenly, she stabs Bhorn on her neck with a kitchen knife, killing her.
Blood splatters all over her, but she doesn't care. She then cleans up her face. Meanwhile, at
the party, everyone sings happy birthday to Uma. Nirach leaves for his office upstairs due to some
work. Uma asks Joy to take care of the guests and goes up too. Joy then makes Nid listen to
music with her headphones, so she doesn't hear what is happening downstairs. At the party,
all the guests start to feel sick and pass out due to the drug. Joy takes this chance to stab
and kill every one of them. She goes around the party, stabbing people several times;
the whole party is a bloodied mess. Joy then goes upstairs to see Uma sitting in
front of her mirror. She has found the letters Joy wrote to Ploy. She tells her that she could have
just asked about her sister instead of making up fake stories. She then proceeds to tell her that
Ploy had just disappeared suddenly. The lie angers Joy. She has added the drug to Uma’s tea as well.
As she takes a sip of it, she starts getting dizzy. She attacks Joy and strangles her,
but Joy manages to stab her to death. As Uma lays on the ground, she sees Ploy lying next to her.
Next is Nirach. He is in his office on a call. He takes the last sip of his alcohol
which Joy has drugged. He starts getting dizzy and sees Ploy’s spirit going down the hallway.
Passing his guests’ dead bodies, he goes out the main entrance to see everything on fire.
He hallucinates Ploy walking towards him but realizes that it is Joy only after she stabs him.
As he lays on the ground, he, too, sees Ploy lying beside him.
Finally, Joy brings Nid downstairs and asks her to wait outside. The movie ends as she
breaks down crying in front of the house. Tell us your opinions in the comments and
