The picture
Inspector Akilan, currently on medical leave, is drawn back into duty when he notices a disturbing pattern in a series of public suicides where victims stab themselves in a ritualistic cross-pattern. Teaming up with a rookie named Sumanth, Akilan's investigation leads him to an ancient book on ritual suicide, a group of high-level chess players, and a shadowy figure orchestrating the deaths from afar. As Akilan uncovers the connection between the victims, he must solve a complex mental puzzle to stop the mysterious killer before more lives are lost.
