Embedded with fierce action and intense emotion, this fiery crime thriller boldly depicts the twists and turns in the life of Mambattiyan, a brave and fearless young man, who is forced by circumstance to adopt a life of crime. In course of time, he becomes the leader of a group of young men and women, who have all been suppressed, exploited or had injustice meted against them, until they decided to become outlaws and go against social norms. Living in hiding from law enforcement agencies and rival gangs, the outlaws lead a dangerous life in the forest, stealing from the wealthy and distributing it amongst the impoverished.
