Political journalist Jayadev (Srikanth) unearths several scams made by a politician (Ahuti Prasad) who in turn invites him to bribe him. The idealistic Jayadev refuses to relent, and as they discuss, a group of Naxals attack the politician and kill him off while Jayadev is taken hostage. Along with Jayadev, the group of Maoists led by Gogi (Ajay) head to their base camp in a dense forest. During the journey, their ideologies are tested; good and bad are exposed, in a dramatic way.
