Description: John Luther, a dedicated Circle Inspector at Devikulam, is known for his workaholic nature. While his sister’s engagement ceremony approaches, he arrives late, leaving soon after the event. He is assigned to investigate a fatal motorbike accident where the driver died instantly, and the pillion rider mysteriously disappeared. Using CCTV footage and photos taken by bus passengers, they trace a pickup truck involved in the incident. The driver claims to have left the pillion rider on the road, unaware of their fate. Simultaneously, a schoolboy goes missing in the same area. John senses a connection between the two cases but struggles to find concrete links.
During the investigation, John notices a pickup truck without a side number plate at the crime scene, prompting a police search. In a separate high-profile case, John confronts two criminals and ends up in a violent altercation. He is severely injured when one of the assailants strikes him with tube lights, resulting in permanent hearing loss in one ear and only 20% hearing left in the other. After a month-long recovery with a hearing aid, John returns to work.
Soon after, another woman goes missing. John’s investigation leads him to a house where neighbors had spotted the pickup truck. The house owner reveals that the truck is driven by Venkit, a Tamil laborer who recently started working with them. Venkit is now in Chennai attempting to sell the truck due to poor business conditions. John traces Venkit’s connections, leading him to Prasad, a retired relative in poor health. John travels to Tamil Nadu to interrogate Prasad, hoping to uncover the truth behind the disappearances and the mysterious pickup truck.
