During one of his meditation sessions, he gets a vision of his master being reincarnated in New Delhi as a six-year-old boy. Kaya (Udita Goswami) is a 21 year old girl from the village who is given the task of finding this six year old child, by the name of Lamho (Madan Bhiku). Her mission is to bring the child back to the monastery. Kaya has grown up in a disciplined environment of Spiti. Her strict father (Dr. Mohan Agashe) has already etched out a path which will lead her to the true meaning of life and reincarnation to a higher level in her next birth. Despite her strict upbringing, Kaya secretly longs to experience what being in love would be like. Meanwhile, Lamho becomes the key witness to a murder case being investigated by police officer Shiven (John Abraham).  | Shiven and Lamho in the peaceful village of Spiti |
Kaya's philosophical and religious beliefs begin to clash with Shiven's practical outlook on life when they meet in New Delhi. But strangely she becomes drawn to this man. As matters from the murder case gets complicated, it becomes unsafe for Lamho and Kaya to stay in Delhi. It is now up to Shiven to take these two people safely back to Spiti. But during their escape from Delhi, Shiven suffers from serious injuries. So when they reach their destination, he is forced to stay with the monks in Spiti. As time passes, he manages to come close to Kaya, much to her father's dismay. But on their trail are certain people who would stop at nothing to get their hands on these three characters. Soon, the surreal surroundings of the village is broken by the sounds of gun shots. . . . Kaya must now make a choice. She either follows her heart which will give her happiness in this birth or sacrifice everything for a better future at a higher level after reincarnation.  | Udita Goswami makes her debut in Paap |
