Anwar Hussain works as a consulting criminologist in Kochi City Police on special recommendation from his friend ACP Anil Madhavan. One night, DYSP Abraham Koshi is abducted and his corpse is left in a gypsum field with eyes and heart eviscerated. The investigation is headed by DCP Catherine. The autopsy report shows zolpidem presence in the body, but no signs of coercion.The corpse was covered with scent and so police dog can't help. There was no signs, finger prints or any evidence in the corpse or near by area where the dead body was dumped
In a few days, a second police officer goes missing, his body is found in the backyard of the police station, along with a Lady Justice figurine. Anwar finds a similar artifact in the previous crime scene from the forensic photos. Autopsy results are same as previous. The station's CCTV footage has been tampered, indicating the killer is also a security hacker.
Anwar employs hacker Andrew for cyber investigation. Catherine implements a plan to lure the killer in which two officers should pair and patrol the nights in 100 meter distance. During duty, Catherine's driver Paulson is kidnapped. His scooter's camera footage shows a wolf-masked man and another man's voice, indicating they work as a team.
Paulson's body is delivered to Anwar's house in a refrigerator box. Fingerprint of a Cocaine dealer, Shameer, is found. They track him to a cottage where they find his mummified corpse. It was a decoy. Anwar accidentally discovers a signature imprinted on the figurine, which turns out to be that of its sculptor, Sudhakar Devalokam. On questioning, Sudhakar explains that he made five such figurines for a man, who blinded him after he delivered it. From that, Anwar deducts there will be two more murders.
CI Sharathchandran is abducted after a struggle at his home, where in addition to the figurine, they also find a fidget spinner. His body is dropped in a Kochi Metro train by two women. Catherine is replaced with ACP Prakash Seetharam. Sharathchandran had regularly taken a prescription drug named Tenormin. Anwar theorises that the killers inject hypnotic drug Zolpidem in victim's body somehow before kidnapping and hypnotize them for taking away; Tenormin is a counter-drug against Zolpidem, so Sharathchandran's hypnosis was unsuccessful, hence the struggle.
Anwar recalls seeing a photo of a similar spinner in the police file for a homicidal psychopath and hacker named Simon. While Simon is recorded dead during an explosion in prison, Anwar is not convinced. Andrew recognises Simon as a man who cross-dressed as one of the women on the train. Anwar reports his findings, but is informed that Simon's body was found that morning with a suicide note confessing to the murders left with the last figurine. Anwar is unconvinced and believes it is a decoy to stop the investigation.
Anwar is called by Sudhakar after the man returns to his workshop for a sixth figurine. His daughter sketched a facial composite. Anwar identifies him as psychologist Dr. Benjamin Louis. From Benjamin's foster parent Sudhevan, Anwar learns that when Benjamin was a teenager, his sister Rebecca was impregnated by a priest named Bennet Franko. When their father reported the crime, Anil and Sharathchandran framed him after taking bribe from Bennet. Rebecca was placed in a distant convent, and their father committed suicide in prison. Later, Benjamin went to the United States for higher studies and came back.
Anwar deducts that the first three murders were random and the actual targets are Sharathchandran and Anil. He goes to warn Anil but finds only his deserted car. From a nearby quadcopter, Anwar finds footage of Benjamin's van, which Andrew traces to a pig farm. Anwar with two officers intercepts Benjamin before he can kill Anil. Benjamin knocks them down and chokes Anwar, but is saved by Catherine and Benjamin is arrested.
On questioning, Benjamin does not disclose his motive. Anwar deducts that the burned corpse misidentified in prison as Simon's was actually Bennet's. While in transit for presenting him in court, his escort officers kill Benjamin. At the same time, a woman visits Anil at his apartment. Anwar enters when she leaves and finds Anil dead. Through the window, Anwar calls out the name Rebecca, to which she turns back and looks at him.
