Roy Alex, an investigative journalist, digs into hawala money from the Middle East and crosses paths with Rahim Haji, a former MP and business tycoon invited by Haji’s driver Basheer. After a magazine profile costs him his seat a year earlier, Haji claims that the bulk of foreign reserves is concentrated along a Gulf-American belt—from Kottayam to the coastal town of Varkala—and he enlists Roy to help revive his business and to eliminate his rival Narendra Shetty.
