Educated, young, no-nonsense bearing,
able administrator—these
are the qualities that won Sesha the loyalties of the people after three years
of rule as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. An allegation that he was the
mastermind behind the murder of 73 Kannadigas threatens to bring him down but
he is miraculously saved in the 11th hour.
Even before he can relish his
victory, Sesha is slapped with the charge of sexually offending a young nurse.
This time round, the case is strong and his supporters are uncertain. Worse,
his teenage daughter calls him 'vile' and walks out of the house. While
Mythili, his wife promises her full support, her secretive activities—undertaken
with the help of a retired cop—is a cause of concern for Sesha.
Will Zarina, the human-rights
activist, succeed in bringing him down? What about the insinuations of a
celebrity lawyer that he is casteist and anti-minorities? When the young nurse
is found dead, the case becomes even more complex. Who is innocent? Who is
guilty? And who is the mastermind?
