Thaiyal Nayagi is a fearless investigative journalist who works for an online news portal committed to promoting equality, democracy, and justice. She is arrested by a special police task force for the murder of Police Inspector Krishnamurthy, but is rescued by a team of FBI and CBI agents. The story starts a few weeks earlier, when Thaiyal encounters Inspector Krishnamurthy during a routine police check and records him making inappropriate comments, which she later posts online. The inspector retaliates by sending goons after her, but Thaiyal stands her ground. Thaiyal's niece, Sushmitha, is supportive of her aunt and aspires to be like her. However, she is unaware that she is being blackmailed by a college boy who threatens to release private videos of her. Thaiyal discovers the situation and confronts the boy, discovering that a fake Facebook account was created in Sushmitha's name to talk to boys. Thaiyal gains access to the fake account and finds that the girl behind it was being messaged by middle-aged men. Thaiyal lures these men to a hotel room under the guise of Sushmitha and beats them up, warning them against continuing this behavior. Thaiyal discovers that one of the men who messaged Sushmitha, Aalim, a 17 year old boy, did not attend their meeting. Aalim is revealed to be a terrorist in Libya, and his organization is wanted by the US authorities. Thaiyal discovers this after connecting a photo Aalim sent with news footage.
