Plot

Zachariah Pothen, a wealthy orphan and campus bully, spends his days chasing girls with his close-knit group of friends: Ayyappadas "Das", Devan, Prakashan, and Aravindan. However, shifting power dynamics within the group create tension and betrayal, eventually leading to tragic deaths. Years later, the group is plagued by a string of mysterious serial killings, prompting a police investigation. Suspicion falls on Pothen, who was the main suspect in the murders of Devan and Gayathri on their wedding day years ago and has been missing ever since. The story unfolds to reveal that Prakashan killed Devan and raped and murdered Gayathri as part of a treacherous scheme orchestrated by Aravindan. Aravindan's goons also killed Pothen, concealing his body to frame him for the crimes. Decades later, Das, who secretly witnessed the entire series of events, begins a revenge-driven killing spree to bring justice.
