Madhavan), a brilliant but disillusioned investigative journalist who stumbles upon a covert political conspiracy linked to a long-forgotten tragedy. When a secret file lands in his hands, Arjun must choose between silence and truth knowing that exposing it could cost him everything.
Meanwhile, Dr. Anjali Rao (played by Nayanthara), a resilient neurosurgeon, is fighting her own battle to uncover the mysterious circumstances behind a string of unusual patient deaths all somehow connected to Arjun’s investigation.
As their paths collide, they are joined by Vikram (Siddharth), a rogue hacker with a dark past, and Revathi (Meera Jasmine), a former police officer seeking redemption. Together, they unravel a web of lies, betrayal, and power games that reach the highest levels of government.
