Bharath (Sathyaraj) and his wife Vaishnavi (Roja) live in Western America with their children Subash and Sindu. Riots break out in the part of America where Bharath and his family live, during which their daughter Sindu dies in a bomb blast. After Sindu's death, Vaishnavi falls ill, so Bharath decides to shift to Chennai along with his family.

The flashback in the movie reveals why Jack threatens Vaishnavi.

He has tried to highlight the terrorism, and world peace on the screen but, he hasn't achieved it due to the unreal screenplay".[5]
