Spoilers ahead
IG Chandrasekhar, Mohanlal, heads the newly formed Metro Crime Stopper Cell in Kochi. He arrests Jerome, a psychologically deviant man, and rescues three girls he had kidnapped, but his ex-wife Deepthi, Priyamani, a lawyer, intervenes and secures Jerome’s placement in a psychiatric facility run by her friend Dr. Jacob, rather than a prison sentence. It later becomes clear that the three girls had been taunting and harassing Jerome, which contributed to his actions. The case sets off a chilling game of cat-and-mouse, where motive and misdirection blur the line between victim and perpetrator.
