Dominic and Joshi run an organic farm in Kanthalloor, where they share the workload with a clear division of labor: Dominic and Joshi handle sales, while Peter and Rajeevan oversee production. Their produce flows to Achayan, a wealthy businessperson who underwrites their operation. When Joshi and Dominic join as partners, the venture grows more profitable, but Peter grows uneasy about Dominic’s profit-driven approach, sensing a shift in the farm’s ethics and direction.

Meanwhile, Kurien, an operating manager at Siemens in Abu Dhabi, borrows a large sum from Achayan and struggles to keep up with the interest. He travels to Marayur with Paul, a tourism consultant, and meets Achayan, who hints at plans to redevelop the land tied to the loan. Achayan intends to build a new shopping complex on that pledged land and promises to repay the debt within the agreed timeframe. Kurien then visits the farm with Paul, meeting Joshi and Dominic at Achayan’s house before heading to the farm together. He also runs into Peter and Rajeevan, who are old college mates, at the farm, and from their conversations he learns that Achayan is the sole buyer for the farm’s produce.

[Kurien] explains that expansion is not just desirable but necessary if they want stable, long-term growth. Peter voices concerns about the risks of a distant, new market, but Dominic is drawn to the potential and decides to inspect the Shimoga property himself. During the visit, Dominic learns from Achayan that the property is legally Kurien’s but presently pledged to Achayan, complicating any plans to flip or repurpose it. This realization strengthens the conflict within the group, as Peter and Rajeevan decide to travel to Shimoga with Kurien, Dominic, and Joshi to derail the deal.

To prepare for the journey, Joshi arranges a driver named Aneesh for the upcoming trip. The tension rises when Irumban, a notorious figure who has ties to Dominic and Joshi, arrives at the Shimoga bungalow on their summons. Kurien, already on edge from the past, is irritated by Irumban’s presence because it dredges up old issues he’d rather leave behind. The night unfolds with a card game, but the mood shifts dramatically when Paul reveals that Rajeevan has been found dead outside the bungalow. In the hours that follow, Paul disappears, leading Dominic to fear a larger trap laid by Kurien and Paul to force them into a compromised position.

As the truth unfolds, the group discovers Paul’s body near the vehicle, and Kurien grows increasingly wary that someone may be targeting one of them. When Dominic accuses Kurien of wanting to dump the property on them, a violent confrontation erupts. Irumban accuses Aneesh of possessing a knife and attacks him, escalating the danger around the bungalow. The violence intensifies: Dominic loses an arm in a sudden bomb explosion, and a hunter gang member kills him, throwing the group into chaos.

Irumban informs Kurien that the gang came looking for him after he had killed one of their members, prompting a desperate scramble for escape. Kurien reveals the existence of a secret underground tunnel that could serve as a getaway, and Irumban makes a break for it while Kurien is left badly mauled by a hunting dog in the melee. Joshi acts decisively, pouring acid on a gang member to kill him, and together with Peter and Aneesh, the trio escapes the immediate danger. Aneesh also shoots the attacking dog to buy time for their flight.

In the aftermath, Irumban fights off pursuers and manages to slip away. The following morning, Peter, Joshi, and Aneesh squeeze into a jeep that has veered off the road, with Irumban catching up along the way. Inside the vehicle, Aneesh spots the same belt that had been found around the dog’s neck, a clue that unsettles everyone. The driver pauses, asking where they are headed, and suddenly a gun is revealed, turning the escape into a new, perilous moment. The tale leaves them in a tense standoff, with dangers still looming as the convoy moves forward.
