The British arrests Kannavath Sankaran Nambiar (prime minister of Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja) and the two young boys – his son and nephew – who are escorting him. They are taken to the execution platform near Kannavam. The troop, led by Lt. Edward, wants to know where the rogue king is hiding out. It becomes clear that the only way out for Nambiar and the boys is to tell them where Pazhassi is.
This semi-fictional account delves into the thoughts of a man caught between his paternal love and his loyalty to the king.
