Zachariah is very close to IG Chandrasekhar and his son Arjun. Arjun and his fiancee die mysteriously in Kaliyoor - a place located on the Kerala-Karnataka border. As per the police reports the deaths were due to Maoist attacks but IG Chandrasekhar and Zachariah refuse to believe it. Zachariah being the godfather of Arjun asks Chandrasekhar to post him at Kaliyoor to find out the truth. Zachariah arrives at Kaliyoor and tries to solve the mystery behind deaths of Arjun and his fiancee and how it is connected to the death of 6 policemen and Circle Inspector Raghavan.

Arjun and his fiancee witness the murder and flees away. While escaping from Nambiar's goons Arjun and his fiancee get into a police van asking help by introducing himself as I.G.'s son. Nambiar instructs his goons to attack the police van thereby killing Arjun, his fiancee and the 6 policemen.
