A financial crimes official grappling with retrograde amnesia, Kadak Singh finds himself entangled in a complex web of relationships with his daughter Sakshi (Sanjana Sanghi), girlfriend Naina (Jaya Ahsan), coworker Arjun (Paresh Pahuja), and boss Tyagi (Dilip Shankar). Each character takes their turn narrating their version of events, leaving Kadak Singh unsure of whom to trust as he unravels a chit-fund fraud.

As the protagonist strives to reconstruct the fragments of his past, the head nurse (Parvathy Thiruvothu) emerges as a pillar of support. The film raises the suspenseful question: Can Kadak Singh reclaim his lost memories and expose the murky truths within the department, or will he embark on a journey to create entirely new memories?

Instead, it keeps audiences on the edge of their seats with a story that skillfully navigates the intricacies of deception, amnesia, and financial crimes.
