Plot
[edit] | This article needs an improved plot summary. (September 2021) |
Trying to save his blind mother Shenbagam by a transplant, Muthu discovers that his father Asogan is alive and has been waiting on death row. Arrested for murder and sentenced to death by hanging, on a forced testimony, he awaits his execution. Nevertheless, innocent of alleged acts, he had finally resigned himself of his fate, because nothing more connected him. His son, at the moment, makes it a duty to exonerate him by helping him to escape and to find one or several of the real culprits. Law enforcement is thrown on his heels, with an order to shoot him on sight. But nobody can stop the determination of the young man, not even his beloved Uma, a police officer.
