[7][8] Malpe is a small fishing town on the Arabian Sea Coast, located 6 km to the west of the temple city, Udupi.

In a flashback scene, a young boy Richard Anthony aka Richi is trying to outrun cops who are there to arrest him for murder.

Chapter 1: Voice of Silence- The first person she approaches is a local cashewnut merchant, Shailesha who knows both Richi and his childhood friend Raghu.

Richi had been in a remand home for 8 years and Raghu had escaped to Bombay to work in a hotel and later with a local gang.

The two meet up in Bombay harbour where Shailesha tells Raghu that his father is no more and his mother is making a living by selling fish at the local market.

Raghu realizes that his location is compromised as two armed gangsters approach his house and start knocking at the front door.

Chapter 2: Richard Antony alias Richi- The second narrative comes from a close ally of Richi, Dinesha, who is held in lock-up.

Richi is a brash and flamboyant young man who carries out dirty work for a local gangster-cum-businessman, Shankar Poojary.

The annual Janmashtami festival in Udupi is in full swing as Richi and the gang arrive at Jodu Raste.

Richi forces his way into the house and goes about explaining the made-up story of a Cuban boy (Tony Montana from the film Scarface) and a boy from Mandva (Vijay Chauhan from the movie Agneepath), and how a person at the receiving end of a beating often doesn't realize why he is being served this.

Richi finds the red bag that Raghu had stolen from the Bombay gang and asks the latter to join him for a boat ride.

The next day, a gleeful Ratnakka is shopping for fish in the local market, where she lets her fellow fisherwomen know that she is leaving for Dubai soon.

Chapter 4: Whispers in the Wind- Munna has a soft corner for Balu's sister Sharada, who sells fish.

During the routine inspection of a fishing boat that Richi had used for his earlier adventure, Munna discovers an empty shell casing on the deck.

On opening the red bag, it is revealed that it contains the merchandise which Balu was trying to sell off and Raghu is the middleman, who stole the item before the deal could go through.

Dinesha returns the favor by killing Munna, who in his dying moments finds peace in the fact that he has avenged Sharada.
