The film revolves around Dhuruvan (Ravi), a tribal forest guard who works for the welfare of his tribe and spreads awareness among them. While on a trekking with five college girls, who initially mistreated him due to his caste, they stumble on a group of foreign mercenaries led by Anderson (Kickinger), who are planning to stop India's scientific project by destroying a rocket launch by using a missile. The bonding of team and defeating the potential threat forms the crux of the story.
