After a string of robberies, Balaram flees the country abandoning his wife Parvathi and son. Circumstances separate mother and child, leaving the young boy under the care of Sekar, who raises him into a well educated gentleman. Sekar falls in love with Sarada, the only daughter of wealthy banker, Ranganathan. Meanwhile, Balaram returns to the country and, with the help of his stepson Mohan, runs a shady business under the alias, Balasundaram. He targets Ranganathan and plots to claim him, while Mohan sets his eyes on Sarada. Soon, a deadly game of deception is set in motion where everyone is left to confront their past.
