The movie is about the relationships between a few slum dwellers and how some antisocial elements create unrest in their lives. The slum is dominated by a five-member gang headed by MG Rajendran ([[R. Parthiepan|Parthiban]]), a do-gooder and hardcore fan of [[M. G. Ramachandran|MGR]]. The people there look up to him, and he has the final say in everything. Rocket ([[G. V. Prakash Kumar]]) is the son of Rajendran's aide Oor Niyayam ([[M. S. Bhaskar]]). He has a devil-may-care attitude and is in love with Kamala ([[Palak Lalwani]]), another girl from the slum. When the couple dreams of a life together, Mary ([[Poonam Bajwa]]), a new resident to the slum, changes their lives. Meanwhile, a series of untoward incidents disrupt the peaceful lives in the slum.<br />
