It follows Dilli, a recently freed prisoner who is arrested due to suspicion while en route to meet his daughter for the first time in life. Inspector Bejoy enlists Dilli’s help to drive the officers to hospital in a lorry, in exchange for seeing his daughter. Dilli and Bejoy and the lorry’s owner find themselves in a chase with the criminals and must race against time to reach the hospital and also save a police station about to come under siege. Bejoy, who avoided the drinks as he was under medication, tries to save the lives of all the unconscious officials without letting the media or anyone else finding out.
He convinces Dilli to help him save the officers’ lives by threatening him that he would not allow him to see his daughter Amudha for the next morning.
