Vishnu returns to Chennai from London, shocking his wealthy businessman father, Thangadurai, who has spent years trying to raise him as a timid, sheltered heir. Vishnu longs for adventure and freedom, resisting the overprotective strictures that his father imposes in the name of safety. The setup centers on a clash of values: a father’s fear versus a son’s craving for independence, and a quiet undercurrent of rebellion that threatens to unravel the life Thangadurai has carefully built.
