Spoilers ahead
Kodi and Anbu are twin brothers whose lives are deeply rooted in Pollachi’s political landscape from birth. Their mute father, Murugan, a low-rung Democratic party worker, helps name them at the party president’s urging and pulls them into the rough world of politics before he self-immolates in protest against a factory whose toxic mercury waste has ruined lives in 1995. Anbu, a college professor, remains apolitical, even as Kodi grows up immersed in politics with his friend Bhagat Singh and a romance with Rudhra, who, like him, has spent her life in politics but currently belongs to the opposing Republican party that holds power.
