Koose Muniswamy Veerappan, during his teenage years, begins as an assistant to his relative Sevi Gounder, a notorious poacher and sandalwood smuggler. He grows up in a forested region where crime runs in the blood of his family and village, and he soon builds a fearsome presence. Across the Sathyamangalam Forest, straddling parts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, he forges a small, fiercely loyal army and openly defies governments and Indian border security forces. His orbit of influence expands as he asserts control over the woods, pushing back against state authority while staying one step ahead of pursuing forces.
