Dhanuka is a handsome, innocent boy in his early 20s. He lives in Matale with his parents and sister. His father, Dharmasena sends him to his best friend, Senarath Maliyadda, who is a rich businessman in Nawala, in order to get a job at his company. Dhanuka arrives to Maliyadda's house and Maliyadda treats him as his own son. But, Maliyadda's only daughter, Sansala treats Dhanuka as an outsider and insults him at multiple times. She has received a marriage proposal from her elder cousin, Saliya, who only loves her to get property. Dhanuka doesn't care about Sansala's misdeeds and slowly loves her. His manager, Senaka realizes Dhanuka's matter and supports him.

Soon, Saliya's mother learns about Dhanuka and plans to send him again to Matale. Then, Saliya's sister calls to Maliyadda's house and introduces her as Dhanuka's girlfriend. Sansala treats him badly, leading Dhanuka to breakdown and leave home. Sansala regrets and feels for Dhanuka slowly. Later, she learns about her aunt's plan and forgives Dhanuka.

Saliya has a secret girlfriend, Minoli. Saliya misbehaves with Sansala and Dhanuka warns him. To avenge, He reveals Maliyadda about Sansala and Dhanuka's relationship. Enraged, Maliyadda expels Dhanuka from his job and fixes Sansala and Saliya's marriage, much to Sansala's dismay. Dhanuka gets a waiter job at hotel, but has to quit it after meeting Maliyadda and Sansala accidentally in hotel.

Saliya continues to blackmail Sansala. Her servant, Kamala tells her to escape from home. But, before the wedding day, Saliya gets arrested at Maliyadda's house for a robbery. Seeing Saliya's reality, Maliyadda breaks all ties with him. Dhanuka does some part-time jobs at town with his best friend, Viraj. Dharmasena passes away from a heart attack. After that, Maliyadda decides to help them.
