This fast paced, socially relevant action drama depicts the trials and triumphs in the life of Sathya (Kamal Hassan), an idealistic young man with intentions to make a positive impact in the world. However, his short temper and aggressive attitude lead him into several conflicts, forcing him into a life of violence and crime.
Ultimately, he becomes a henchman, working under a political leader, without knowing the leader's true agenda. How will Sathya's future turn out? Will he be able to live up to his ideals or will his integrity and conscience be drowned out by the tornadoes of time?
