Overview
There is a core to every story, and in this one, it is PERIYANNAN, a 55-year-old crime baron who has made his fortune with cold-blooded ambition and superstition. Though he leaves his destiny in the hands of astrology, he puts his faith in his most trusted enforcers—SARA and KUTTY, twin brothers who have gained his trust over the years. This trust, though, is paid for in the sacrifice of his own irresponsible younger brother, ILAVARASAN, whose mounting rancour is on the verge of shattering the family's jeopardizing counterpoise. When a perilous prophecy threatens an imminent peril to Periyannan's existence,he goes to desperate lengths to assure his future, triggering a whirlwind of action that will stretch loyalty, love, and deception to their very limits.Lying at the center of the maelstrom is BHAVANI, a woman trapped between the crossroads of power and destiny, whose arrival starts slowly to alter the very fabric of Periyannan's universe.
