In 2002 in Nagercoil, a timid 17-year-old Bhavani witnesses his family's murder by his father's rivals. They force him to take the blame, and they incarcerate him in a juvenile detention facility, where the staff torture him mercilessly. As a consequence, he develops a ruthless and violent persona. Years later, Bhavani is released from the facility and owns the lorry and trade business. By 2019, Bhavani has become a feared gangster and remains immune from punishment by coercing the inmates of the detention facility to take the blame for his crimes. Creating an enormous syndicate for himself, he grows on par with his father's former rivals and eventually kills them brutally. In Chennai, John Durairaj (J. D) is a college lecturer beloved by his students for his student-friendly approach. He struggles with alcoholism and bitter dislike from fellow staff. Charulatha, aka Charu, a newly hired lecturer at his college, is the only one who commiserates with him. J. D. decides to hold an election at the school on a bet with the college principal and if the election fails, they will dismiss him from the college. Despite a successful initial election, displeased goons attacked the school. Following the botched election, the chairman assigns him to a juvenile detention facility for a 3-month assignment he does not recall volunteering for. J. D. reluctantly assumes his new position. The prison authorities warn him of the rampant drug abuse and violence there.
