The show revolves around two rival gangs, who, with a history of violence rule the roost in Chennai. An upright youngster, Vijay (Santhosh Prathap), is pulled into their never-ending power play and has to give up his hopes of becoming a police officer when he resorts to violence. As he rises in stature, his enemies also loom large, from his cold-blooded nemesis, Kumar (Ashok Kumar), to his once-best-friend, Sub Inspector Arun (Soundara Raja).
