A suspenseful character study about two damaged men whose con-artist scheme gradually transforms into an unexpectedly genuine human connection amid secrets and deception.

A petty thief embarks on a road trip with an elderly man suffering from memory loss under deceptive pretenses. As they journey across Tamil Nadu, the promise of an easy con unravels into a quietly shifting connection, with both men hiding secrets of their own.
