Aruvipurathu Jose alias Turbo Jose, a jeep driver from Idukki with a habit of getting involved in fights, learns that his best friend Jerry, a bank manager in Chennai, was attacked by henchmen sent by the family of his girlfriend Indulekha, who is also a bank manager of a different bank. Jose arrives at Indulekha's house and stops her engagement, where he takes Indulekha to Jerry's house. However, Jerry refuses to accept Indulekha due to fear of his family and Indulekha goes to Chennai for her job.
Jose learns that Indulekha's family have filed a case against him, where he leaves for Chennai and persuades her to come back home. However, Jose decides to stay at Chennai after learning that he will be imprisoned. On Jose's request, Indulekha helps him find a job at her customer Andrew, a rich car dealer, and Jose works as a bodyguard for Andrew. Jose manages to reunite Indulekha with her family.
Meanwhile, Jerry gets informed by her colleague Sithara that an anonymous person from the bank had used Jerry’s passkey to transfer a huge amount of money to inactive accounts registered under other people's names. Jerry begins the investigation with Sithara, where he learns about that the real mastermind behind the scam is Vetrivel Shanmugam Sundaram, a psychotic kingmaker, who has been manipulating the banking system to provide money to ruling party MLAs in order to shift their loyalties.
Jerry learns that Vetrivel's main bank account is in Indulekha's bank, where he tries to inform and warn Indulekha about the scam, but Indulekha doesn't listen to him as she hasn’t forgiven his rejection. Vetrivel learns that Jerry has learnt about his scam and soon kills Jerry. Jerry's death is termed as suicide in the autopsy report by Vetrivel. Later, Indulekha and Jose learn about Vetrivel's scam and his involvement in Jerry's death.
Indulekha complains to the police, but the police are under Vetrivel's payroll and tries to kill her. However, Jose rescues Indulekha by thrashing the cops and they escape, where a cat and mouse game ensues in which Jose and Indulekha manages to save their family, consisting of Jose's mother Aruvipurathu Rosakutty and Indulekha's sister Niranjana, with the help of Andrew. Jose and Indulekha exposes Vetrivel's scam and Jose kills Vetrivel using a fish-slicing machine at Vetrivel's fishery factory.
In the aftermath, Jose, Indulekha, Rosakutty and Niranjana return to Idukki. They soon receive a parcel containing Andrew's severed head with a letter sent by Vetrivel's business partner, who wages a war against Jose for Vetrivel's death.
