SI Aravind Karunakaran, along with his colleagues and superior, DYSP Ajith, who is also his brother, arrest a man named Murali, whom they believe to be a murderer that they were searching for, forging false evidence against him. However, much to their shock, they discover that the real murderer was someone else. While Ajith and the others remain silent about their misconduct, risking their jobs, Aravind quits after refusing to be a part of the charade and to avoid getting condemned by his colleagues. A few years later, when Aravind returns to his hometown along with his girlfriend Dia for his niece's wedding, he discovers certain leads that could lead him to the actual culprit, thereby saving Murali. Aravind then rejoins the force and begins to conduct the investigation in his own time, narrowing on a potential serial killer and identity thief who has been behind several murders around Kerala over the years using fake identities, while his brother and accomplices continue to sabotage his plans by transferring him to the Kasaragod Branch only to find out that Aravind was getting closer to finding the culprit. However, by the time Aravind tracks down his house, he discovers that the culprit was killed in a car accident while using another fake identity and his face is deformed. He nonetheless uses this in order to free Murali. Aravind is later suspended alongside Ajith, Pramod and Alex.
