Spoilers ahead
In present-day Kerala, the executives of the multinational Nirvana Group approach Krishna Das with a tempting offer. They reveal that his ancestral property in the north of the state, previously leased to a local NGO, sits atop rich mineral reserves and could be sold now that the lease has expired. The Nirvana Group extends a substantial advance, while the NGO continues to run a tribal school inside the Kannadi Forest Range. When Krishna Das and his friend Thanseer go to inspect the site, they are abducted by tribal men and dragged to a cave deep in the woods. There, the tribal chief Thankachan explains that Krishna Das is the descendant of Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar, and that destiny and duty are edging him toward a long-forgotten struggle.
