One night, Adamfulhu goes fishing and is dragged into the sea by a supernatural force. Concerned about him, Mariyam Manike searches for him and finds him at the fishing spot sitting idle. On his return, Lathaa and Mariyam Manike observe differences in his habits; forgetting his daily chores and distancing himself from prayer. Lathaa, who is in a romantic relationship with Laami (Yoosuf Shafeeu), a shopkeeper, sees a black shadow at the beach, causing them to stop meeting there.

Two nights later, Laami comes to Lathaa's house and tries to rape her after she refuses to have sex with him. Mariyam Manike opens the door in time and kicks him out. The next morning Laami's father storms out on him for harassing Lathaa, which Laami had no memory of. Lathaa was expelled from school and her father warns her about her relationship with Laami. To clear his suspicions, Laami and his friend, Areesh (Hussain Solah) spy on Adamfulhu and witness him transforming into a monster. After eating raw fish, he transforms back to Adamfulhu and goes back to his house. A few minutes later, they observe the same man, now disguised as Laami, enter Lathaa's room.
