Dragon is a coming-of-age comedy-drama that revolves around D. Ragavan, a young man who rebrands himself as "Dragon" after facing academic and romantic failures. To save face and secure a future, he deceptively lands a high-paying corporate job he isn't qualified for. However, he soon finds himself cornered by a major professional challenge that threatens to expose his lies. The story captures the struggles of middle-class youth, focusing on themes of unemployment, social media culture, and the importance of perseverance and education in finding one's true identity in a competitive world, while dealing with the fallout of past mistakes.
