	Viswanatha Panicker ~~([[Mammootty]])~~ is a corrupted Panchayat president of Thazhe Keezhppadam grama panchayath in Kuttanad for 25 years. He earns a lot of wealth through his corruption and by cornering his village people to hand over their lands to him. But he never acquires in his name, instead he gives them to his relatives. He has also been nicknamed 'America' for his tricky ways to play the big brother and thereby getting control over the issues where he gets involved. Panicker's dealings are done through his cousin brother and confidant, Somasekharan ~~([[Siddique (actor)\|Siddique]])~~. On the other hand Castro Vareeth ~~([[Janardhanan (actor)\|Janardhanan]])~~ is totally different man from Viswanathasa Paniker. He wants his village people to have a peaceful life.

He wants his village people to have a peaceful life.

	The members of the Panchayat who work under Viswanatha Panicker are also ruthless and they are afraid of the arrival of the new Panchayat Secretary Janaki ~~([[Sneha (actress)\|Sneha]])~~ as they claim that she is very strict. On arrival, she finds out that there are so many illegal transactions and threatens that she will write to the higher authority. But, Panicker never listens to her and continue their illegal works. Somasekharan meets Bobby ~~([[Fahadh Faasil]])~~ who is on his mission to instruct the people about the activities of Panicker and bring them to light. Soma threatens Bobby but he continues his work. Panicker later learns that Bobby is the grandson of Rosy Teacher ~~([[Lakshmi (actress)\|Lakshmi]])~~ and son of his old friend Joseph Varghese ~~([[Prabhu Ganesan\|Prabhu]])~~ and Panicker never comes across his way.

	Panicker illegally wants to sign an agreement for Cyber Park Project which needs more land for the construction of the building. Janaki is against it claiming that it is an agricultural land. But Panicker-Soma wants the agreement to be signed and Soma house-arrests Janaki along with her ailing mother ~~([[K. P. A. C. Lalitha]])~~ while Panicker signs the agreement with a secretary for that day in place of Janaki and he controls the other members of Panchayat with the bribe. Later Rosy teacher advises him and asks him to cancel the agreement. She also recites that Panicker has got this job only because of the death of her son, Joseph and she always wanted Panicker to be honest like her son.

	Panicker, on the advice of Rosy, plans to cancel the agreement but Soma and the other family members stands against him. They asks him to leave the house if he wants to cancel the agreement. Panicker leaves the house with the Orphan girl, whom he claims that, he saw her in the train on the day of Joseph's death. Panicker starts living in the Panchayat office and Janaki feels sad for him and starts supporting him on knowing that he had changed. Panicker and Janaki goes to meet the higher authority in [[Alapuzha]] to cancel the agreement but the authority says that he had been receiving anonymous letters from the village that there is an illegal relationship between Janaki and Panicker. Janaki insults the authority by saying that he had time to read these letters but never had time to do his job.

	Soma, who is against Panicker now, brain-washes Bobby's mind that his father Joseph's death was not an accident but a murder by Panicker to acquire the President post. Bobby, who partially believes it, asks Panicker and says that he is on his way to [[Thiruvananthapuram\|Trivandrum]] for work. Next day, Bobby's things are seen near the river and Soma claims that Panicker has killed Bobby as he came to about Panicker's true color. Rosy believes it and she slaps Panicker. Panicker recites the story of her son Joseph that he had lurked from others for the past 25 years. He says Joseph had a relationship with a lady after his marriage and fathered a girl and Joseph had taken him to his concubine's funeral.
