Suryam is the leader of the fisherfolk in the coastal village of Meenampet. Rani, a fellow villager, is in love with him. However, Sireesha, apublic prosecutor, becomes an obstacle to Suryam's efforts to protect the environment. Suryam, along with the fisherfolk, confronts JP, the owner of a factory that is responsible for mass fish deaths due to pollutants being released into the sea. Sireesha, acting at JP's behest, has Suryam arrested.
While in jail, Suryam recalls his past, particularly his time in law college when he and Sireesha were romantically involved. Despite her brother’s disapproval, Sireesha and Suryam plan to marry. However, Suryam’s brother, Ganagaraju, intercepts the smuggling activities of Sireesha's brother, which enrages him. He blames Suryam for marrying his sister against his wishes, leading to the murder of Ganagaraju. Sireesha’s brother frames Suryam for the crime, resulting in his arrest. The case is later dismissed due to Sireesha’s defence.
Upon his release, Suryam confronts Sireesha’s brother, learning that he was responsible for Ganagaraju’s death. In an unexpected turn, Sireesha's brother accidentally falls to his death from the upper floor of his house. Unaware of the true cause of her brother's death, Sireesha harbours a deep resentment towards Suryam.
As Suryam is released on bail, Sireesha's sister-in-law exposes her brother's shady activities. Sireesha, now aware of the truth, decides to reconcile with Suryam. The story concludes with their reunion.
