Plot summary
Thaiyal Nayagi works as an investigative journalist in Chennai. When she learns that someone has set up a social media account in the name and photographs of Sushmitha, her teenage cousin, she looks into it and finds that the profile was created by a classmate of the girl, who used Sushmitha's face because she was unhappy with her own appearance. Thaiyal talks the classmate out of it, contacts the men who had been chatting on the account and treats the matter as settled. Then she learns that one of those contacts is Aalim, a seventeen-year-old who belongs to a terrorist outfit in Libya. She holds on to the account and, writing as Sushmitha, keeps the conversation with him going in the hope of getting news.
