Solomon Joseph, a police sub-inspector in Rajakkadu, uses money and power to bend people to his will and enrich himself. He indulges in booze and women, building wealth while remaining estranged from his father and step-family. A priest serves as a rare father figure guiding him along the way.

Dennis and four Bangalore visitors clash at a club, and Solomon steps in to arrest Dennis and his friends. Ummachan promptly arranges bail for his brother, but the gesture carries a veiled threat against Solomon. The incident exposes how money and influence pull the town's strings.

The next day, Dennis and his crew hire a local prostitute; Solomon confronts them during the act, intending to humiliating Ummachan and extract a hefty bribe. This confrontation underscores Solomon's willingness to use scandal for financial gain. The double-bind between two powerful factions tightens in Rajakkadu.

Ummachan pleads to release his brother, offering a 3 lakh bribe delivered personally to Solomon. He attempts to implicate the officer in bribery, but Solomon sees the trap and arrests Ummachan for attempting to bribe a public official.

Both Solomon and Ummachan are released on bail shortly after the arrest. The delicate balance between corruption and power remains unsettled, with both sides watching each other warily.

That night, Dennis and his gang attack Solomon; Solomon drives them back, but Dennis dies in the brutal confrontation. Chandikkunju helps dispose of the body, and Solomon, facing consequences, seems to escape punishment by receiving a transfer to northern Kerala. Ummachan uses this moment to threaten Solomon.

Solomon lands in Badiyadka, entering the domain of the smugglers led by Haji, who earned his fortune by cheating his mentor Baputi. There Nadia, Baputi's daughter, faces eviction, and a public clash involving Shereef pulls Solomon toward Nadia, signaling the start of a moral shift.

In a tense public clash with Nadia, Solomon begins to tilt toward conscience as he cooperates with Haji under the influence of bribes and protection money. This marks a turning point as his long-standing corruption starts to surface a sense of right and wrong. The uneasy alliance with Haji signals a major shift in his outlook.

Chandikkunju begs Solomon for 5 lakhs for his daughter's marriage, while Ummachan tightens the financial screws to keep control of the town. The pressure intensifies as Solomon's finances and loyalties are stretched thin. The town's power dynamics grow more volatile.

Solomon seeks help from Haji but is refused, with Shereef blocking any rescue. This moment highlights Haji's independence and Solomon's dwindling options as his moral dilemma deepens.

In a bid to strike back, Solomon hijacks Haji's bootlegging truck and takes 2.5 million rupees, leaving 0.5 million behind. Haji's men retaliate, and Solomon sustains near-fatal injuries, ending up in the hospital.

Solomon is discharged from the hospital, overwhelmed with remorse for his corrupt life. He falls in love with Nadia and hopes to marry her, while trying to reconcile with his family; his father dies just before they can reconcile.

On the day before the wedding, Ummachan, aided by Haji and Shereef, kidnaps Nadia to lure Solomon into a trap. Vavachan arrives to rescue her, setting the stage for a climactic confrontation. The town braces for the final showdown.

Solomon returns the favor with lethal resolve, ending Ummachan's hold over the town. Vavachan's timely intervention helps seal the downfall of Ummachan and restore some balance, as the town begins to break free of his grip.
