The movie revolves around the life of an honest and principled IPS officer, Chandrashekhar (played by Ramesh Aravind), who is tasked with solving a series of murders in a small town. As Chandrashekhar delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of corruption that reaches the highest echelons of power. Chandrashekhar's journey begins when he arrives in the town and meets a mysterious character, who turns out to be the killer's sister, Sridevi (played by Vijayalakshmi). Sridevi is initially suspicious of Chandrashekhar but eventually opens up to him, sharing her experiences with her brother, Ramesh. As Chandrashekhar gathers more information, he realizes that Ramesh is being manipulated by a rogue IPS officer, Pratap (played by Thalaivasal Vijay), who is also involved in the corruption.

Despite the numerous challenges, Chandrashekhar remains committed to solving the case, driven by a strong sense of justice. As the investigation unfolds, Chandrashekhar's life becomes increasingly complicated. He faces criticism from his superiors for pursuing the case too zealously, and he also has to deal with the personal consequences of his actions. His love interest, Nivedita (played by Shilpa), is caught in the middle as she is forced to choose between her loyalty to Chandrashekhar and her family's influence. Meanwhile, the corruption web becomes more complex, with Chandrashekhar discovering that it involves key government officials and even a politician. The climax of the movie reaches a boiling point as Chandrashekhar confronts the culprits and exposes their crimes. In a dramatic showdown, Chandrashekhar manages to bring the perpetrators to justice, saving the town from further chaos.
