The film stars Sarath Kumar, Bhavana, Nivin Pauly and Bhagath Manuel.
The film's plot is mainly based on three separate incidents taking place in Ernakulam.

"A gruesome murder takes place and some innocent persons become part of the muddle quite unexpectedly," says Vyasan, who was also in charge of marketing the film Twenty 20, one of the biggest blockbusters ever in Malayalam.
"Mobile phones have become part of their lives for today's youngsters. They use it when it is needed and at times, when it is not needed as well. But it changes the lives of a few forever, in this story," he added.

The first incident in the story is about the murder of a young politician, which happens during an election. The policeman in charge of the investigation is CI Jacob Alexander, played by Sarath Kumar.
The main suspect in the episode is a don named Paruthikkadan played by Suresh Krishna. There is tremendous pressure on CI Jacob Alexander when he gets closer to nabbing the culprits.
The second incident involves Anupama, played by Bhavana, who is a techie.
The third one has a group of five friends who are on the way back from Pala and get involved in some unexpected events at the metro.
