Kumbakonam Junction, a sleepy railway station by day, transforms into a world of secrets and shadows by night. For Mani, a seasoned porter with a limp and a sharp mind, the platform is home-a place of routine and survival.

A dead man, a cryptic note, and whispers of a smuggling network set the stage for a deadly game where trust is a luxury and the whistle of a train signals more than just its arrival.
As Mani pieces together the puzzle, he finds himself hunted by an unseen enemy-a figure lurking in the darkness, always one step ahead. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous the tracks become. With every move, he unearths secrets hidden within the very station he calls home. What is the significance of Platform 7? Who is behind the smuggling operation? And most importantly, can Mani escape the fate that the whistle warns him about?
