Varghese Peter, a young man from Alappuzha, aspires to secure a high-ranking government job but repeatedly fails to clear the required examination, straining his relationship with his girlfriend Nancy, a bank employee whose father disapproves of Varghese’s lack of stability. Reluctantly, Varghese accepts a posting as a constable in the Kerala Police where he forms a close bond with senior constable Basheer Ahammed, who becomes both his mentor and protector.
In 2003, tribal protests erupt in Wayanad, with tribal groups demanding land rights under the leadership of CK Shanthi and Madhu, alongside tribal head Thaami. DIG Raghuram Keshavadas is tasked with suppressing the agitation, enlisting the Indian Army’s support.
As part of a calculated conspiracy, Basheer is killed and framed as a victim of the protest to justify a violent crackdown, prompting police to fire upon the tribal group, killing Thaami and five other tribals, and arrest of the protest leaders. These actions ultimately result in the collapse of the movement.
