The lives of a vedic scholar Pattabhiramagiri and his family come under threat after a godman and his goons try to displace him from his centuries-old ancestral home as part of building an ashram. The “curse” that befalls Pattabhiraman in the face of opposition leaves him broken, till a mysterious ally lends him his support. Their fight against the evil forces forms the rest of the plot.

This is a tale, which almost became a true story. It unfolds in the late Eighties and early Nineties, when the country was going through a dark phase both politically and socially a time when turmoil was writ all over the political scape of the nation.
