The series is reportedly about a koothu artist and saamiyaadi who gets caught up in a web of political chaos after a politician’s murder. The series of events lead him to be a suspect, which leads to the confusion whether the crime was committed in his normal state or while possessed by a deity, thus exploring themes of belief within a police procedural.
