Shantanu (Sunny Singh) is a heartbroken college student who is desperately seeking "Sacchhi Mohabbat" in his life. On Valentine's Day, when he cries and attempts su**ide in front of a "Virgin tree", a magical tree that is believed to bless people with true love, his life takes an eerie turn.

Meanwhile, another college student tries to k**l himself and it's linked to a ghostly presence. The suspicion grows stronger because similar incidents have happened in the college in the past, too. This is when the college management seeks the help of a paranormal expert, Baba (Sanjay Dutt), who turns out to be one of the ex-students of the college.

Will Baba be able to solve the mystery?
