Three hard-boiled thugs are playing a friendly game of carom in a dim-lit, shabby garage when the younger one, Sekar breaks into an aggressive rant. He suggests to end the cycle of abuse and exploitation put in motion by their ultimate senior, Selvam, by murdering him. Keshava excitedly welcomes this idea as both try to convince their anna of the scheme. <br><br>
Enraged over such a ghastly proposition, the anna, at first reprimands them and then reminds them of his loyalty of twelve long years to Selvam. However, the tide turns, as Sekar and Keshava successfully talk him into seeking vengeance for the years of injustice inflicted upon him. Nevertheless, we soon realize the true motives of the young manipulators, reinforcing the ‘every person for himself’ trope in the crime thriller genre.

The film opens with a sense of darkness that would continue to pervade the rest of the story. An old man recounts his experiences of isolation and loneliness for the viewer by introducing them to his life so far. After the passing of his wife, he is only left with an indifferent, uncaring son and a grandson who, though striving to fulfil his responsibilities towards his grandfather, is still unable to be present with him. <br><br> Left by himself in a dark house with an impersonal meal that is being delivered from a local restaurant, the protagonist soon begins wondering about his daughter who he turned away from his love and affection when she chose a life-partner he did not approve of. The narrative, thus, wants to be a conversation with all of these concerns, along with offering the viewer an unexpected development at its conclusion when the food delivery justifies the expectations the title of the film had set all along.
