Plot

The film starts with Aleena Abraham (Parvathy Thiruvothu) deciding to join the police force when the DIG offers her a government job for the loss she suffered when her husband was martyred in a police sting operation. She enrols in the police academy, a visibly male-dominated place, leaving her toddler with her in-laws — her only family.

She successfully finishes and joins the police force and gets to know the officers and is close with fellow officers CPO Sreenath (Mathew Thomas), ASI Dasan (Sidharth Bharathan), and CPO Divya (Unnimaya Prasad). Each struggles with their own problems; Sreenath has a girlfriend whose family is against their relationship due to caste and status differences, Dasan has a crush on a teacher he met during duty and wants to get married as he is already past his 30s, and Divya is struggling to conceive. Another officer, SI Xavier (Azeez Nedumangad), a womaniser, has a tiff with Dasan and is rude to the other officers, while the station is led by the well-meaning but bumbling Inspector Prathap Mohan (Vinay Forrt).
