يبدأ الفيلم بجيمس، رجل أعمال ثري، وهو يقود سيارته عائدًا إلى منزله عشية عيد الميلاد. يلاحظ شاحنة تلاحقه، فيسرع هربًا منها، لكن مجموعة من السيارات تعترض طريقه. تدفع الشاحنة سيارته في النهاية إلى بحيرة، فتغرق السيارة وجيمس. تصاب زوجته سوزانا وابنه روني بصدمة كبيرة لسماع الخبر. ولأن سوزانا كانت يتيمة، فإن المساعدة الوحيدة التي تتلقاها تأتي من صديقي العائلة، أنتوني وزوجته ماري.

أثناء الجنازة، وصل والد جيمس المنفصل عنه، بوثينبوراكال كورين جوزيف، وشقيقه ديفيد. بدت العائلة وكأنها تُصلح علاقتها بسوزانا، لكنها كانت أكثر اهتمامًا بثروة جيمس التي جمعها. وبينما حاول أنتوني مساعدة سوزانا في الانخراط في أعمال المزرعة، أراد كورين وديفيد توكيلًا رسميًا لإدارة العمل بأنفسهما. بعد مواجهة، رفعت العائلة دعوى قضائية ضد سوزانا، مدعيةً بطلان زواجها من جيمس، مما حرم سوزانا وطفلها من حقهما في ثروة جيمس. كما هدد رجال كورين وديفيد سوزانا بمطاردة سيارتها.

بعد أن عجزت سوزانا عن إيجاد أي عون، التقت صدفةً بجورج كورا فيتيكال، المحامي. كان جورج رجلاً محافظاً، ترك دراسته اللاهوتية في منتصفها في معهد لاهوتي كاثوليكي. لم ينجح في عمله كمحامٍ، وكثيراً ما يقع في مشاكل مع موكليه الساخطين، كما أنه مدمن على مضغ التبغ. وكان يرافقه دائماً مساعده الموثوق، أبكوتان بيلاي. استأجرت سوزانا جورج للدفاع عنها بعد أن رفض صديق جيمس ومحاميه، المحامي راجاسيكاران، تمثيلها، مُعللاً ذلك بعلاقته مع كوريين. وبناءً على نصيحة بيلاي، قرر جورج استغلال سوزانا مالياً، فطلب منها 2% من إجمالي أصول جيمس، مقابل تمثيلها في قضية بدت واضحة.

However the circumstances become complicated when the church's wedding register is missing the entry of James and Susanna's wedding in April 1981, destroying any evidence of their marriage. Susanna, along with George and Pillai, visits Father Gabriel, who ordained the wedding. However, the elderly priests fail to help them as he is suffering from dementia. On the way back, they are attacked by four men, who beat up George and Pillai. On visiting him at the hospital, George informs Susanna that he will refuse to undertake the case. However, George is beaten by the same men, again, and threatened against representing Susanna's case. Following this, a determined George decides to proceed with the case. He moves into James's bungalow, as his office was destroyed by the four men.

Kurien further establishes that Susanna was arrested in February 1981, for prostitution, and admitted to a rescue home, which turned her into a psychiatric patient. Kurien manages to convince the parish vicar of this, by producing a police officer, rescue home warden, and psychologist. This further disappoints George, as Susanna concealed all this from him. Susanna reveals her past to George. A young Susanna, an orphan, trained in accounting, attends a job interview in James' company. James traps and rapes Susanna. She is mistakenly arrested for prostitution by the commissioner of police and is sentenced to 18 days in a rescue shelter. She ends up on the street, mentally shocked. A repentant James finds her, gets her treated, and marries her.

Convinced of the narrative, George resumes his work. They accidentally find their wedding video tape, where George identifies one of the men who attacked him. He further discovers that the business manager, Unnikrishnan, is collaborating with somebody else. He also confronts the church clerk who erased the wedding records and recovers the records. He traps and beats up two of the men who attacked him.

George not only establishes the wedding in the court, but also files a private suit, claiming that James was murdered. The police, after their investigation, arrest both Kurien and David. He further reveals that Kurien Joseph is James' step-father, with witnesses from the past. James also believed that Kurien murdered his own father, John Varghese, and married his mother to capture all of their family assets. His manager, Unnikrishnan, testifies that James rejected pleas of financial help by Kurien and David. Just before his death, James had an altercation with Kurien and David. James' ex-assistant, Peter, testifies witnessing Kurien and his men murdering James. The court finds Kurien guilty. The court postpones the sentencing to the next day.

Kurien, on a last ditch attempt, attacks Susanna, Rony, and Antony, on their way back home. Antony is stabbed to death. However, George arrives just in time to save Susanna and Rony. Kurien is killed when his car plunges into a mountain ditch during the fight.
