Memories

Sam Alex, a SP in Kerala Police, witnesses his wife Teena and daughter murdered by a terrorist. He kills the attacker in front of him, an act that triggers his slide into alcoholism. The tragedy shatters his peaceful family life and pushes him toward heavy drinking as a coping mechanism.

IG Aravindaksha Menon asks Sam to take up a parallel investigation into the disappearances of several young married men. Sam initially refuses, claiming he cannot work while grieving. The case remains stagnant as he keeps away from the assignment.

Sam's mother, Marykutty, begs him to reconsider and take up the case. After a quiet struggle, Sam begins to entertain the possibility of contributing to the investigations. The family plea becomes a turning point that pulls him back into police work.

Sam starts poring over case files, cross-checking post-mortem reports and doctors' statements. He identifies inconsistencies and begins to form a working profile of the killer. The investigations move from desk work to a methodical search for patterns.

Sam makes a breakthrough in understanding the killer’s method and signature. Soon, two more kidnappings occur, reinforcing the pattern and pushing Sam to pursue the trail more aggressively. The clock starts ticking toward the killer’s next target.

The killer is revealed as an eccentric man with a limp and a short right leg, who seems driven by complex feelings toward women. He leaves sharp knife-etched clues on the chests of his victims, a gruesome signature that guides Sam’s deductions. These clues hint at a warped belief about the victims' sins.

The inscriptions on the bodies are deciphered as Aramaic phrases, later linked to biblical proverbs. Sam interprets these lines as indicating the killer's moralistic motive and his warped worldview. The language clues sharpen Sam’s sense of the killer’s identity.

Sam uncovers a connection to a man named Anand who studied with the victims years earlier. He suspects Anand changed his identity and now operates under the name Peter. The theory ties the murders to a personal history rather than random violence.

Sam realizes the killer’s final target is his own brother Sanju, with Sam’s sister-in-law Anitha as the last link in the chain. The realization reframes the case as a personal vendetta rather than random violence. Sam braces for a confrontation that could determine his brother’s fate.

Evidence points to Anand having a property near Kottayam, Kerala, which becomes the focal point for the final chase. Sam travels to the area to confront the killer and prevent the last planned act. The pursuit escalates into a climactic showdown.

Sam reaches Anand’s property, engages in a confrontation, and rescues Sanju from danger. He ends Anand’s life in the process, resolving the immediate threat. The victory marks the turning point from vengeance to closure.

With the killer defeated, Sam gives up drinking for good and begins rebuilding his life. He adopts Anand’s sister Parvathi’s daughter, choosing to create a family anew. The case ends with Sam stepping forward from grief toward healing.
