Seshu is a leading criminal lawyer who is a highly short-tempered and egotistic. One day, at a party, a tiff arises, and Kanna brutally assaults Seshu after Seshu asks Kanna and his friends to vacate the party. Since Kanna has cake cream on his face, they don't recognize him. Seshu orders his men to find out and kill him at any cost. Things become complicated daily when Seshu starts targeting Kanna and his father, Suryanarayana.
