Plot

Shaji is living in an isolated farmhouse with his wife, Vidya Shaji, his young son, and his Cane Corso black dog. He is in debt, due to the failure of his farming. His father, Raveendran, who had entrusted him to take care of the farming, has lost hope in him, now considers him useless, and scolds him often. To manage the work in the farmland and to steal some of his father's peppercorns to clear his debt, Shaji hires a few Tamil workers through an acquaintance. Along with her brother, Vidya visits her parents' place to take a break from her routine life for a while. As the workers begin working, an eerie atmosphere creeps in.

Shaji spots one of the worker boys spying on him and catches him. He learns that in a previous encounter, he had killed the boy's beloved dog without his knowledge, and the boy has now returned to avenge his loss. It is also revealed that all of the Tamil workers were once owners of the farmland. The land was then forcefully taken over by Raveendran. Shaji requests the boy to forget the incident and offers to buy him a new dog. But the boy is determined to seek revenge and swears to kill Shaji's dog. Shaji loses his temper and a fearsome fight ensues between them fighting for survival and vengeance.

When it starts raining, Shaji realizes that he has to shift peppercorn. So, he locks the boy in a room and rushes dripping in blood. He unloads the peppercorn sacks outside the storage shed. When he returns to the room, he finds the boy missing. He gets furious when he sees the boy setting the peppercorn on fire. They continue fighting and the boy easily gets the upper hand, making Shaji run for his life. Finally, the boy makes Shaji feel the pain of his loss and is satisfied to have achieved his vengeance successfully. After this, the boy walks away with Shaji's dog happily.
