Plot

Anand, a young man haunted by visions of his late mother Sreebala — a respected police constable — dreams of following in her footsteps. Her voice often guides him through his moments of doubt and despair. Though unable to secure a place in the force, Anand takes up a part-time investigator’s job at a news agency, where his girlfriend, coincidentally also named Sreebala, works as a journalist.

When she begins investigating the mysterious death of Merin Joy, a college law student whose six-month-old case was dismissed as suicide, Anand becomes deeply involved. As he digs into the inconsistencies, disturbing truths emerge, suggesting a darker conspiracy behind Merin’s death.

Driven by his mother’s lingering presence and his own thirst for justice, Anand risks everything to expose the truth. But in his pursuit, he must confront a chilling question — will unveiling the real culprit finally bring peace to Merin’s parents, or will it destroy the lives of those he loves most?
