The film opens in Andhra Pradesh with a man sketching the face of a deceased person whose identity eludes the police. The scene establishes facial reconstruction as a tool used to crack hard to solve cases. It sets the tone for a mystery that will unfold through memory, art, and investigation.

News reports reveal a severely decomposed unidentified female corpse found in Madhavaram lake, and the police cannot recognize her face. The discovery sparks the central case that threads through the rest of the film. The authorities struggle to identify the victim, highlighting the investigative challenge.

Police officer Rajendran contacts Shiva, a skilled facial reconstruction artist, to recreate the victim's face. Shiva's talent helps the police write a crime story to guide the investigation. This collaboration marks the start of Shiva's unofficial role in solving the case.

Shiva is introduced as a facial reconstruction artist who assists officers by mapping out the crime narrative for difficult cases. His drawings serve as a bridge between memory, motive, and evidence. The sequence establishes his influence on the investigation and on how the truth might emerge.

In a bar, Shiva's friends reveal that he has forgotten memories of his wife Kavya after the car accident that killed her. The personal mystery adds emotional stakes to the thriller, driving his need to recover what was lost. The incident also hints at trauma that shapes his professional focus.

Shiva attempts to recollect Kavya by revisiting their love story through conversations with friends and by revisiting the car where the accident occurred. He spends nights sleeping in the car and gradually drafts Kavya's face at home, seeking to repair his memory and his art. The process blends grief with his reconstruction work.

While in the bar, Shiva gets pulled into a confrontation with people connected to the earlier case he is drafting. The fight drags him further into the investigation and tests his safety. The incident tightens the link between his personal trauma and the murder mystery.

Madhan visits the police station to advocate for protection, but a surprising clue emerges when Bhaskar discovers a box outside containing two burnt legs and a half burnt face mask. The gruesome find suggests a serial element to the crimes and intensifies the investigation. The box acts as a taunting piece of the puzzle that demands further inquiry.

Investigators locate two more boxes in different locations, one containing burnt hands and another with a body, indicating a disturbing pattern. The discovery expands the criminal timeline and deepens the mystery of who is being killed and why. The team starts linking the boxes to possible victims.

Rajendran reaches out to Shiva again, asking for his help in solving the murders. Shiva's skill with faces and stories becomes central to identifying victims and suspects. The collaboration intensifies as the stakes grow.

Rajendran privately tells Shiva not to involve himself further in the investigation, signaling a barrier between his artistic approach and official police work. This warning raises tension and questions about boundaries between professional roles. Shiva must decide how to proceed as the case unfolds.

Two days later, Rajendran is reported missing, and Inspector Indhuja is assigned to take over the case. The sudden disappearance adds pressure and uncertainty to the investigation, forcing a shift in leadership. The team must adapt to new directions while pursuing the killer.

As the murders continue, Shiva edges closer to the truth by connecting clues, his memory fragments, and the reconstructed faces. The investigation becomes a race against time to prevent more deaths. The personal and professional strands converge as the killer's identity nears revelation.

The film builds to a coincidental twist at the climax, where the connections between the victims, the reconstructed faces, and Shiva's memories reveal the killer and motive. The twist ties together personal tragedy and investigative insight, delivering the resolution. The fate of the characters is sealed by a twist that recontextualizes everything that came before.
