Albert, with his colleagues and son, goes to the Himalayas for research. Albert and Adam opt to stay at an old bungalow owned by Dr. Inayat with Hakka, an old janitor from the local tribe to assist them. The story progresses with the appearance of another character named Ava. Adam has bad feelings about Ava, as she tries to trap him. Adam informs Albert, but his father doesn’t take it right. Once when Adam and Hakka are talking, Ava takes Adam and haunts him for telling about her to Albert. Hakka, for seeing, this is injured by Ava. Adam and Albert leave the house. Albert is attacked by Ava and Adam is taken. Albert wakes at Dr. Inayat’s where he tells him that Ava is actually Albert and that he has bipolar schizoaffective disorder which explains why Adam was frightened by him in a few scenes and tells him he has one day to see Adam alive or else, the police are involved. Adam is found, and Ava leaves as the last night goes, happily leaving the father-son duo. Then, Albert asks Adam who Ava is, causing Adam to gasp, hinting at Ava’s existence.<br /> The mid-credits scene shows a cave with a painting on its walls, showing a cosmic creature with a female-like appearance tormenting people, indicating that Ava is real.
