A major government dam project threatens to flood fertile village land. Wealthy estate owners bribe the senior engineer to illegally lower the dam's height to protect their private properties. Sukumaran, an honest junior engineer, discovers the scheme and stands up against the powerful lobby to protect the nation's interests.
