In Bangkok, a gangster named Dude is tasked by his boss to hunt down and deliver a legendary plant, the Neelakoduveli, a herb whispered to bring eternal fortune to its bearer. The mission kicks off with a sense of danger and a hint of superstition, as the pursuit threads its way through shadowy deals and coded loyalties. The film sets a brisk rhythm, flipping between the neon-lit streets of Bangkok and the rugged expanse of Kerala, where the stakes feel both larger than life and dangerously personal. The search for the herb becomes a catalyst that draws in a wide web of characters, each with their own motives, alliances, and hidden agendas.
