Kanakam tracks multiple similar disappearances. Local elders claim the forest “takes” women who cross certain boundaries at night. She discovers half-burnt bangles and cloth near the stream, evidence the seniors ignore.

Flashbacks reveal Kanakam’s motivation: her mother was a victim of domestic abuse who once told her, “Justice starts from courage.”

Kanakam teams up with a forest-guard trainee, Ravi, who helps her map the missing women’s last-seen points — forming a spiral pattern around a defunct temple. When they venture deeper, they find a hidden path used for illegal sand-mining and timber transport. The “myth” might be a cover-up for crime.

A chilling night-time chase in the woods ends with them barely escaping masked men.

Evidence links the smuggling ring to one of Kanakam’s senior officers. She faces humiliation when she reports it — her superiors suspend her for “insubordination.”

Ravi is attacked and hospitalized. The tension builds as Kanakam realizes the conspiracy extends into political circles.

Kanakam goes rogue. Disguised as a villager, she infiltrates a ritual site and finds proof that the kidnappings are staged sacrifices to scare locals away from the contraband routes. She rescues two abducted women and uncovers a video that shows her own superior overseeing the operations.

The “goddess” turns out to be a symbol — a woman survivor hiding others from abusers — giving the series a feminist allegory twist.

Armed with the footage, Kanakam returns to confront her department. After a tense standoff, she arrests the sub-inspector and the political broker behind the ring. The ending mirrors the beginning: Kanakam stands again before the same forest, now calm, saluting the horizon — hinting that true law and order begin when someone dares to question power.

A post-credit scene shows a file titled “Adavi Gutta – Case 2” being reopened, teasing Season 2.
