Marco
Marco
Victor, a blind person, witnesses the murder of his close friend Wasim. Despite his blindness, Victor identifies the killer by recognising the distinct scent of the killer's perfume and the killer's vehicle, a Land Rover Defender. Victor's identification leads the cops to suspect that the killer is Russell, who conspired with Wasim's elder brother Tariq, to carry out the murder. Tragically, Victor gets captured by Russell, who throws him into a tub of hydrofluoric acid, resulting in his death. Victor's brother George Peter, the patriarch of the Adattu family, one of the prominent crime families in Kochi, is devastated by the loss. Marco Jr, Peter's adopted brother who had been sent to Italy for safety, returns to India after learning about Victor's death. At Victor's memorial service at their local church, Marco vows to avenge Victor's death, declaring his intent to eliminate everyone involved in the heinous act, including Russell, who is present at the scene. Despite Peter's attempts to dissuade him from taking a path of violence, Marco remains resolute.
