The film stars Sivakarthikeyan, Vinay Rai and Priyanka Mohan (in her Tamil debut), with Archana Chandhoke, Yogi Babu, Milind Soman, Redin Kingsley, Deepa Shankar, Sunil Reddy and Shiva Aravind.

The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography handled by Vijay Kartik Kannan and editing by R. Nirmal.

Varun, a military doctor working in the Indian Army Medical Corps, is a strict and practical person.

Disillusioned with the police's sluggish progress, Varun plots to kidnap the ACP's daughter, believing that the resulting investigation will be more competent.

Varun singles out three criminals (Kamala Kannan, Kamesh, and Prathap), noticing that they were present around Chinnu's school at the time of her disappearance.

Varun, Pratap, Mahaali, Killi, and Padmini's family follow Melvin to Goa, where they discover that the true mastermind behind the recent kidnappings is Terry, the owner of a high-end resort.

As per his plan, Terry traces Padmini's kidnapping down to Varun, who poses as a child trafficker masquerading as the owner of an ice-cream parlour.

Realising that any action would endanger the kidnapped victims' and Chinnu's lives, Varun calls off the operation despite James' protests.

Alvin reveals he had abducted Terry's father and agrees to spare him, in return for letting Varun and the family, along with all the other girls, leave.

Terry apprehends Varun and plans to kill the lone girl in front of him, but is thwarted by James's team and Bhagat, who had infiltrated his base.
