In this tense thriller, a renegade sniper named Craig shoots an army officer from a distance, then, under orders from a traitor, accepts a new assignment to finish off an ISRO scientist named Abdul Kamaal within 30 days.

The action shifts to Kumily, a quiet hill town, where a PT teacher named Thulasi Raman leads a peaceful life with his son Sethu Raman, his wife, and daughter. The town’s calm routine is mirrored in their family life, even as Sethu works as a librarian to retired Colonel Matthews. Into this setting arrives Nandhini Ramanujan, a kleptomaniac who steals books from the library; after a few tense altercations, the pair find themselves drawn to one another, and the bond between them slowly grows into something more.
