Plot Synopsis
Raghunandan is an ex-Bank of England employee who resigned his lucrative job because he was bored with the rather sedentary nature of his work. Having lived in different parts of the world as a bank employee, he chose journalism as his next career and worked in different cities in India. He is now working on a TV news channel as an interviewer in a show named 'Show the Spirit'. In the mean time, he is writing an English novel too. He is essentially a loner but loves his pegs and has an expensive collection of vintage drinks at home. He is divorced but still friends with his ex-wife Meera and her current husband Alexy. Captain Nambiar is his next door friend. Raghunandan's fatal addiction towards alcohol takes a heavy toll on his personal and professional life. However, good sense dawns, albeit late, when he comes across a man who is worse than him because of his drinking problem. That is plumber Mani who is so drunk that he cannot distinguish between what is real and unreal. His character manifests all the worst characteristics of an alcoholic, including abusing his wife. Mani changes everything, bringing some meaning to Raghunandan's life.
