Spoilers ahead
An anonymous woman dies while giving birth in a graveyard. Her child, Chiththan [Vikram], is found and raised by the graveyard’s caretaker Mu Ramaswamy. Chiththan grows up among corpses with little human contact, moving with a beast-like instinct while still showing a surprising sense of loyalty and social longing. He ventures into a nearby town in search of food and quickly discovers that money is a strange concept to him, landing him in trouble until a sharp-eyed Gomathi Sangeetha Krish takes him in. She recognizes his capacity for loyalty and arranges for him to work under her boss, Sekar Vasudevan, a powerful figure in the local marijuana trade. When a drug raid leads to his arrest, Chiththan finds himself behind bars.
