Raghunandan is a former executive of Bank of England who resigned his lucrative job because he was bored with the rather sedentary and mundane nature of his work. Having lived in different parts of the world as a banker, he chose journalism as his next career and has published many reports and directed several documentaries. He now works for a famous Television News channel as the host in a very popular widely viewed show named "Show the Spirit". In the meantime, he is in the process of writing an English novel too. He has a great reputation among people for being an intellect, a polyglot and for his shrewd journalistic tactics but he is in fact a misanthropic loner, a vain narcissist, and a compulsive alcoholic with an expensive collection of vintage drinks at home.
It was his excessive drinking that resulted in his divorce some years back, but he shares a healthy friendship with his ex-wife Meera and her current husband Alexy. The couple has custody of Raghunandan's and Meera's son Aditya a.k.a. Sunny, who is deaf and mute. Captain Nambiar is his jovial next door neighbour. Raghunandan, however, is not really bothered about relationships, friendships or the norms of society and prefers to live life on his own terms. He rubs off some powerful politicians, who come to his TV show threatening dire consequences and offering bribes, the wrong way and does not regret it.
Raghunandan's fatal addiction towards alcohol takes a heavy toll on his personal and professional life. However, good sense dawns, albeit late, when he comes across a man who is worse than him because of his drinking problem. That is plumber Mani who is so drunk that he cannot distinguish between what is real and unreal. His character manifests all the worst characteristics of an alcoholic, including abusing his wife. Mani changes everything, bringing some meaning to Raghunandan's life.
