Parami, a simple orphaned girl, decides to move to Colombo with her close relatives, Mr Seneviratne and his family, 3 months after the death of her mother.
Meanwhile, Rahul, the youngest son of Mr Seneviratne, arrives in Sri Lanka from Australia; meeting Parami after a long time, he is immediately attracted to her.
