The film opens with SI Anand resuming active duty after a brief, unexpected suspension. He is immediately drawn into a complex murder mystery that tests his straightforward, evidence-based approach. This setup frames a present-day investigation juxtaposed with a past-filled flashback.

A flashback reveals Anand's entry into the police force, guided by his retired father Narayana Pillai. He begins as a Sub Inspector at Kottayam police station, learning the values of honesty and steadfast duty. The backstory establishes the moral compass that drives his investigations.

Anand is assigned to the disappearance of Lovely Mathan, a Christian girl. He discovers that Lovely frequently visited a nearby vicarage, steering the case toward religiously sensitive grounds. The investigation begins to hinge on community dynamics as much as evidence.

Anand goes to question the priest at the vicarage, but he faces stubborn resistance from parishioners and local leaders. The religious sensitivities surrounding the case create friction and threaten the inquiry's progress. The episode highlights the difficulty of policing in tense community contexts.

Due to the heated religious tensions, Anand is removed from the investigation and the case is handed to the corrupt DYSP Alex. The change demonstrates systemic challenges within the force and sets a more corrupt path for the inquiry. Anand remains determined to uncover the truth despite the shift.

DYSP Alex reaches a premature conclusion that the murder was committed by an ex-criminal living nearby. This early verdict contrasts with Anand's ongoing effort to verify the facts and identify the real culprits with forensic help. The dynamic shows the tension between quick leadership and methodical policing.

With the support of his subordinates, forensic experts, and SP Rajagopal, Anand identifies the genuine perpetrators. He arrests the culprit and prosecutes in court, but the suspect escapes custody and commits suicide by jumping in front of a running train. The episode demonstrates how even a correct lead can unravel under flawed processes.

In the aftermath, SP Rajagopal suspends Anand and his team for oversight and negligence, a decision that weighs on him and the others while the investigation's truth remains contested. Rajagopal privately recognizes the failures that allowed the tragedy but feels compelled to take action.

Returning to the present timeline, Rajagopal assigns Anand to investigate the cold murder case of a young woman named Sridevi. The assignment signals a new challenge and a path to redeem the team's earlier failures.

Anand's inquiry begins in Cheruvally, but he is met with hostility from villagers and village leaders who were on the receiving end of police brutality during the original investigation. Their resistance complicates evidence gathering and cooperation. The tense atmosphere tests Anand's resolve.

Raveendran Nair, a retired constable who served at the time of the case, steps forward to share key context about what happened. His insights help Anand connect dots that were previously missed and shape the current inquiry.

Armed with new information, Anand locates the likely culprit and returns to the police station to pursue formal arrest. The new lead reframes the case and builds momentum for justice.

Before an arrest can occur, Ravindran, the key informant, takes his own life. The tragedy leaves a scar on the team and deepens the sense of unfinished justice as they search for redemption.
