Warning: Story Spoilers Ahead
The story revolves around Benz, a simple man whose life centers around two things: his family and his beloved car. Benz treats his Ambassador taxi like his own child. He never lets anyone else drive it and becomes deeply upset even if it gets a small scratch.
He lives with his wife Lalitha, a daughter, and a son who is studying at a hostel. Benz earns his living by driving his taxi, and he’s deeply attached to it, both emotionally and financially.
A Sudden Death Changes Everything
One day, Benz learns that a famous action director named Master has died suddenly. Benz decides to attend his funeral in Tamil Nadu. As his car has a mechanical problem, he leaves it at the garage and takes a train to the funeral.
But things take a shocking turn when Benz returns to Kerala and finds out that his car is now parked at the local police station. A mechanic from the garage used it for illegal activities, and now Benz must do everything he can to get it back.
Caught in a Dangerous Trap
He goes to Inspector Bani, who refuses to release the car. Not giving up, Benz visits the police station again at night. This time, he meets George, a senior police officer. Benz begs him, explaining that the car is his only way to earn a living.
George agrees, but on one condition — Benz must drop him and another inspector off at a wedding. Benz agrees, and they all leave together.
After the wedding, the inspectors ask Benz to drive them to a remote farmhouse for a party. As the journey takes them through forests, hills, and rivers, Benz begins to feel something is wrong. When he refuses to drive any further, George reveals a terrifying truth:
“There’s a dead body in your car’s trunk.”
A Shocking Discovery
The inspectors remove the body and bury it on a hill, leaving Benz shaken. When he returns home, he finds out that his son has gone missing. Confused and scared, Benz opens his car’s trunk and discovers a wallet. Inside it is a photo — a photo of his son.
This moment hits him like a thunderbolt. The body the police buried was his own son’s. Now, the mystery deepens:
- Why did the police kill his son?
- What was the motive?
- Will Benz seek justice or take revenge?
These questions form the heart of the emotional and suspenseful journey that follows.
