Spoiler-free synopsis

Vincent Kariya (Scaria), also known as Ummachan, is a 40-year-old unmarried civil police officer who lives in 10th Mile, Wayanad, Kerala. He leads a lonely life and is haunted by memories of his deceased mother, who suffered from mental disorders. Following his engagement to Jessy, Vincent meets Dr. Joshi Kuriyan and expresses concern that his mother's mental disorders may pass on to him, causing several of his prior marriage proposals to be canceled. The doctor advises him to proceed with the marriage and instills confidence in him. Vincent's relatives Appachan and Kuttappaappi arrive with their families on the eve of the wedding. When the presence of a tiger is confirmed in the Thirunelly and Ambalavayal areas, forest officials issue an alert to the public through an announcement vehicle. The next day, Vincent, his relatives, and friends arrive at the church for the wedding. Everyone realizes that Jessy eloped with her boyfriend. On hearing this, Vincent returns home in a flustered mood and asks everyone to leave. Late at night, he approaches a woman he knows and asks for sex. However, the woman avoids him since she is on her period. Vincent then approaches his friend, Kambikkuttan, and talks about the matter. On the way, he meets a young lady named Mahishmathi Emily Jayaram, whose car broke down while heading to Muthanga. Meanwhile, once the presence of the tiger has been confirmed, Vincent's friend, SI Ashokan, is on patrol duty. Vincent takes Mahishmathi to his house when she inquires about a place to stay for the night. She thinks it is a homestay, and Vincent introduces his friend Kuttimani as the manager and himself as its general manager. Ashokan gets information that a girl is missing from Kalpetta. Sini, a civil police officer, suspects that the missing girl might be with Vincent. While on patrol, Sini informs Ashokan that there is a possibility of a crime at Vincent's home, but Ashokan ignores it. Mahishmathi learns through the wedding invitation card that it was Vincent's wedding night and tries to comfort him. Vincent asks Mahishmathi whether he can marry her, which she takes as a joke. He then attempts to sexually abuse Mahishmathi while inebriated. The body of a girl is found in the forest by police officers. Vincent awakens from his drunken state to find Mahishmathi lying on the floor, bleeding. He calls Ashokan, who is at the scene of the girl's death. Vincent digs a pit near his house to bury Mahishmathi's body and calls the SP to inform him that a crime has been committed there. He calls Ashokan and tells him everything. Sini then requests that Ashokan do something right away. After the patrol, Ashokan and other officers arrive at Vincent's house in the morning. However, they were unable to locate the girl mentioned by Vincent. Ashokan says to Vincent that he must have felt all of those while intoxicated and asks him to join the service immediately. Vincent, along with his Valyammachi, goes on a pilgrimage with a group to the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Velankanni, Tamil Nadu. A female jailer calls Vincent and informs him that there is a molestation case against him and that he must surrender immediately. Mahishmathi, who was actually a culprit, unexpectedly comes on the call and tells Vincent that she actually pranked him that night because she didn't like the way he behaved with her. She also says that they will meet again soon. Later, Ashokan takes the initiative and arranges Vincent and Sini's marriage
