Set in the fictional St. Vincent College in Delhi, the story revolves around the legend of the "Virgin Tree," which is believed to grant true love to those who pray beneath it on Valentine's Day. However, every year on Holika Dahan, a student mysteriously dies, their soul claimed by a vengeful spirit.
Shantanu, heartbroken after a recent breakup, seeks solace beneath the Virgin Tree, yearning for true love. His plea awakens Mohabbat, a ghost who becomes infatuated with him. As Mohabbat's obsession deepens, she begins to haunt anyone who comes between her and Shantanu, leading to a series of eerie events on campus.
To combat the escalating supernatural occurrences, the college administration enlists Baba, a seasoned para-physicist and alumnus of the institution. Armed with unconventional gadgets, Baba investigates the mystery, uncovering Mohabbat's tragic past and her connection to the college.
