Joseph Kuruvilla, a non-violent bakery owner in Alappuzha, Kerala, lives a gentle, drama-free life with his five-year-old daughter Niveditha “Nivi” [Nainika] who fills their days with simple joy. His quiet routine is gently upended when his neighbor and Nivi’s teacher, Annie [Amy Jackson], starts to see him in a new light. Annie’s growing fondness is matched by Joseph’s own guarded warmth, and the two begin to share small, meaningful moments. As their bond deepens, Joseph finally reveals a startling truth: he is not merely a bakery owner but the DCP Vijay Kumar [Samantha Ruth Prabhu], a detail he trusts Annie with on the night he narrates his past.
