Veerapandi Puram and Soolakkarai are two villages divided by a river, their history stained by a long-standing feud between the local headmen. The conflict stems from a tragic misunderstanding surrounding Sethupathy’s children, which fuels his vendetta against Veerasamy. In a bid to erase this debt of blood, Sethupathy attempts to kill Veerasamy’s son, Suriyaprakash [Prakash Raj], but the plan is foiled when Paramasivam’s son Giri [Arjun Sarja] intervenes, saving the boy and causing Suriyaprakash to vanish from sight.
