The story follows life of Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar, son of the Kottuval (General) of Chirakkal. Kottuval of Chirakkal is killed on board the ship Miri by Vasco da Gama during the infamous massacre of the pilgrim ship in 1502. Almost twenty years after this incident, Vasco da Gama again arrives in India as the Viceroy and Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar, seeking revenge for the blood of his father, plans an uprising against the Portuguese in Malabar.
