Johan (20) and Mama (39) reside in a run down crocodile park, their sanctuary. Johan's father is nowhere to be seen, but Mama called a white crocodile in the park as Johan’s father. Mama shields Johan from the outside world. With the appearance of a young girl, Arumi (23), the balance in Johan and Mama’s relationship becomes shaky. Mama disapproved of the relationship and her dissent manifests in peculiar behavior.

ಫ್ರೌಡಾವಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಜೊಹಾನ್‌, ಪಶ್ಚಿಮ ಜಾವಾದ ಮೊಸಳೆ ಮೊಸಳೆ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ತಾಯಿಯ ಜೊತೆ ಇದ್ದಾನೆ. ತಾಯಿ ಮತ್ತು ಮಗ ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಸ್ವಯಂ ದೇಶಭ್ರಷ್ಟರಂತೆ ವಾಸಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಬಿಳಿ ಮೊಸಳೆಯನ್ನ ಮಾತ್ರ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸಕ್ಕೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಏಕಾಂತತೆಯ ಅವರ ಬದುಕು ಆರುಮಿ ಎಂಬ ನಗರದ ಯುವತಿಯನ್ನು ಜೊಹಾನ್‌ ಪ್ರೀತಿಸಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿದ ನಂತರ ಕದಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವರ ಜೀವನದ ಸುಗಮ ದಾರಿಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡಿಯಾಗುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಗಳೂ ನಡೆಯಲಾರಂಭಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಜೊಹಾನ್‌ನ ತಾಯಿಯ ವಿರೋಧ ವಿಲಕ್ಷಣ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗಲಾರಂಭಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
