Rahul, the crime news editor of the Kannada Times, reluctantly agrees to go back to his home village to report and investigate a series of killings that took place due to poisoning.

It is a race against time where he must unravel the case as soon as possible to save his family and friends who are now also in danger. While these happenings are taking place in the village, a cult led by a so-called Guruji Vishwas is gathering a strong following in the village with their promise of healing wounded souls and suffering people. The cult has strong ties with the past, and Rahul along with his cop friend must navigate through this village life which has hugely become influenced by Guruji's teachings. Also, an American movement comes into focus which had caused havoc in the United States and now threatens the life of the villagers as well as the citizens of India. A question arises eventually: Is Rahul trying to help his village, or is there something big at play here that includes the interests of the nation?
