	The film opens with a prologue on Raj Prakash, a wealthy [[Non-resident Indian\|NRI]] businessman who wanted to open an [[insecticide]] factory in London but was denied the required permissions due to the toxicity of the key compound [[methyl isocyanate]] (MIC) used. Using the influence of local politicians, Raj Prakash set up the insecticide factory in Tamil Nadu and did good business through exports until the insecticide was eventually banned by the UN, eventually declining his export business. With dwindling returns, Raj Prakash proposed to open a [[copper]] sterlite factory after learning of its concentration in the area, but was faced with backlash from the local people, forcing him to withdraw his ambitions. With the insecticide factory being his only business, Raj Prakash decided to double the returns from the existing factory, which was already in a derelict state.

	Lenin Vijay, Saravanan and Pazhanisamy are three best friends in the town of Sengathirumalai who eventually secure a job in the insecticide factory with the help of a recommendation. Vijay also falls in love with Isai Vani, a medical doctor working in the same factory. On their first day, their neighbour Seenu, working in one of the units of the factory, is admitted to the hospital due to sustained burns but is pronounced dead at the hospital, and his death is ruled out as accidental poisoning. Later on, the factory is deemed unfit during a periodical audit due to improper maintenance of the MIC storage tanks, resulting in a significantly higher storage temperature than the normal storage temperature. During the audit, Raj Prakash intervenes and bribes the auditor into ignoring the observed issues, while promising him a share of the profits. Raj Prakash gets acquainted with Sengai Kumar, a lower-caste politician who tries to manipulate the elections by bribing voters. Due to improper maintenance of pipes and the storage tank, Saravanan gets splashed by MIC in the face along with three others. They are taken to the hospital, but they eventually succumb to their injuries. Vijay and Pazhanisamy are distraught and heartbroken at their friend's death. Sengai uses this situation to spark a protest to close down the factory, but has been secretly funded by Raj Prakash to instill sympathy in the minds of the locals.

	Vijay learns from Isai Vani that the deaths of Seenu and Saravanan were caused by MIC ingestion; while Saravanan had directly come in contact with the chemical, Seenu's prosthetic leg was made of [[polyurethane]], made in the same factory, which upon ignition produced MIC, caused his death. The factory is temporarily shut but is reopened through Sengai's influence, with no up-gradation done to the withering factory. Vijay and Pazhanisamy try to take up the issue to the local authorities, including Sengai, but are met with disdain. Things get worse when the storage tanks are about to implode; Vijay tries to contact the factory manager on the countermeasures and antidote for MIC poisoning, but the manager abruptly ends the call and turns off the phone. Vijay immediately contacts Isai Vani and tells her of the plight at the factory, and she arranges for medications at the local hospital, while the locals try and send some of their relatives out of town for safety. The storage tanks eventually burst, releasing a plume of MIC gas into the air, and kills the remaining population, including Vijay's parents, and severely impairing the others. Vijay, Isai Vani and Pazhanisamy are shocked at the outcome, and Vijay becomes hysterical when he learns about his parents' demise. Vijay is later arrested after he is falsely accused of adding water into the MIC tank by Raj Prakash, which causes the gas leak, and is bailed out after three months.

==Plot==
The film opens with a prologue on Raj Prakash, a wealthy [[Non-resident Indian|NRI]] businessman who wanted to open an [[insecticide]] factory in London but was denied the required permissions due to the toxicity of the key compound [[methyl isocyanate]] (MIC) used. Using the influence of local politicians, Raj Prakash set up the insecticide factory in Tamil Nadu and did good business through exports until the insecticide was eventually banned by the UN, eventually declining his export business. With dwindling returns, Raj Prakash proposed to open a [[copper]] sterlite factory after learning of its concentration in the area, but was faced with backlash from the local people, forcing him to withdraw his ambitions. With the insecticide factory being his only business, Raj Prakash decided to double the returns from the existing factory, which was already in a derelict state.

Lenin Vijay, Saravanan and Pazhanisamy are three best friends in the town of Sengathirumalai who eventually secure a job in the insecticide factory with the help of a recommendation. Vijay also falls in love with Isai Vani, a medical doctor working in the same factory. On their first day, their neighbour Seenu, working in one of the units of the factory, is admitted to the hospital due to sustained burns but is pronounced dead at the hospital, and his death is ruled out as accidental poisoning. Later on, the factory is deemed unfit during a periodical audit due to improper maintenance of the MIC storage tanks, resulting in a significantly higher storage temperature than the normal storage temperature. During the audit, Raj Prakash intervenes and bribes the auditor into ignoring the observed issues, while promising him a share of the profits. Raj Prakash gets acquainted with Sengai Kumar, a lower-caste politician who tries to manipulate the elections by bribing voters. Due to improper maintenance of pipes and the storage tank, Saravanan gets splashed by MIC in the face along with three others. They are taken to the hospital, but they eventually succumb to their injuries. Vijay and Pazhanisamy are distraught and heartbroken at their friend's death. Sengai uses this situation to spark a protest to close down the factory, but has been secretly funded by Raj Prakash to instill sympathy in the minds of the locals.

Vijay learns from Isai Vani that the deaths of Seenu and Saravanan were caused by MIC ingestion; while Saravanan had directly come in contact with the chemical, Seenu's prosthetic leg was made of [[polyurethane]], made in the same factory, which upon ignition produced MIC, caused his death. The factory is temporarily shut but is reopened through Sengai's influence, with no up-gradation done to the withering factory. Vijay and Pazhanisamy try to take up the issue to the local authorities, including Sengai, but are met with disdain.

Vijay immediately contacts Isai Vani and tells her of the plight at the factory, and she arranges for medications at the local hospital, while the locals try and send some of their relatives out of town for safety.

Vijay is later arrested after he is falsely accused of adding water into the MIC tank by Raj Prakash, which causes the gas leak, and is bailed out after three months.

It is at this moment that Vijay and Pazhanisamy take up the issue into their own hands. While they educate the people through the news media of the atrocities of the politicians joining hands with the industrialists for their own political gains, they also talk about the danger of the chemicals used in the factory. Using the facade of protests, Vijay and his accomplices eventually confront Raj Prakash, Sengai, the factory manager, and others and kill them for their immorality, avenging the deaths of the locals.
