== Plot ==<br />
In 2013, [[Assistant commissioner of police|ACP]] of [[Kochi]], Antony Moses, aka Rascal Moses, is involved in an accident that causes him partial memory loss. Before the accident, he was on a call with his brother-in-law, Farhan Aman, the Commissioner of Police. He informs Farhan that he has solved the murder case of his friend, Assistant Commissioner Aaryan John Jacob, who was killed during a gallantry awards ceremony at the police parade ground. However, before disclosing the murderer's name, the accident occurs, resulting in his memory loss.<br />
<br />
Farhan tells Antony about his past and the tragedy that befell their friend Aaryan. Together, the trio had been known as the 'Mumbai Police' owing to their earlier presence in the Mumbai police department. Given Antony's impressive capabilities as a police officer, Farhan reassigns him to the case despite his condition.<br />
<br />
As Antony retraces his past investigation, he notices discrepancies between his new findings and the direction his old self had taken. He reexamines evidence, revisits witness statements, and reconstructs the crime scene, but certain details do not align. During this process, he also discovers that he had been in a relationship with a male flight attendant. Upon confronting his partner, Antony learns that, on the night before the awards ceremony, Aaryan had walked in on them in an intimate moment. Aaryan was upset—not because of Antony's sexuality but because Antony had hidden this part of his life from him despite their close friendship. The two had a heated argument, after which Aaryan stormed out.<br />
<br />
After Aaryan left, Antony's boyfriend started to panic, as homosexuality was not only illegal at the time but also a taboo, making Antony anxious as well. In his paranoia, Antony irrationally convinced himself that Aaryan would expose his secret during his speech at the ceremony.<br />
<br />
Having uncovered the motive behind Aaryan's murder, Antony deduces that he himself was the killer. His past self had premeditated the murder, installing a remote-controlled automatic rifle on a rooftop overlooking the stage and shooting his friend with a tap on his phone during the gallantry awards ceremony. Upon revealing all of this to Farhan, it is shown that Farhan already knew he was the culprit, as the old Antony had confessed on the call right before the accident. However, Farhan needed Antony's investigative brilliance to solve the case once again.<br />
<br />
Accepting responsibility for his old self's actions, Antony surrenders to the police.<br />
