Fueled by anger, alcohol, and a growing desire for justice, Santhakumar sets out on a long walk through the night. His original destination is connected to his abusive manager, whom he blames for the hardships he has endured at work.
However, instead of simply seeking revenge, Santhakumar’s journey becomes an attempt to confront the truth and expose the exploitation taking place around him.
