 A young cop Kathiravan( Vikram Prabhu ) is assigned the duty to oversee the escorting of an young undertrial Abdul Rauf ( LK Akshay Kumar) along with two other constables, from Vellore jail to Sivagangai, for a court hearing. During the long bus journey, Kathiravan gets to hear the backstory of Abdul, who has been an undertrial for 5 years, with no lawyer nor any family to fight his case, as he is an orphan. The cops discover many more painful truths about the young man which makes Kathiravan empathise with him and want to help him. But things are not easy and the path to find justice for him seems an uphill task. What is his backstory? Does Kathir manage to help him? Does Abdul get justice?

Sengottavan has an enemy in the tribal leader Ganga ( Mahina Ghupta) who was once his lover at a young age, but the duo were separated due to a village feud with a statue at the centre of it all.

But he is working in cahoots with the tycoon King Of God ( Kabir Duhan Singh) who cruelly tortures the villagers and steals the statue with the help of the cops. What happens next?
