Plot A little boy smuggles organs of various animals at home from a local meat shop and preserve them in jars under his bed. Upon discovering this, his father beats him. When he grows up, he kills his father. Meanwhile, ACP Rithika Xavier investigates the abduction and murder of two little girls from Trivandrum in succession. No apparent motive makes Rithika suspect that there is a serial killer. She requests a forensic team but finds it awkward that the forensic personnel assigned is Samuel Kattookkaaran, who happens to be the younger brother of her estranged husband Xavier. It is shown that the couple broke away after losing one of their children apparently due to her carelessness and that the surviving child Nayana consults a psychologist, Dr. Alphonse Kurien. She also recruits an intern, Shikha. Samuel concludes that the killer must be a child as the killer seems to move comfortably through a 4-foot tunnel but is unable to dispose of a body over a 5-feet wall, and also because the killer is able to blend easily in a compound of children.
