Chacko lost his parents in his childhood and he lives with uncle's family who tortures him and considers a slave. Unable to face the struggle, he leaves them in a bicycle and joins a cycle workshop owner Bose and his workers, Rameshan and Rahim who steals bicycles for a living. Their fate changes when they try to aim for more. A heist goes wrong, and the gang gets split. Chacko moves to another place where he continues with his tricks, on a bigger scale.
