Leelatharan, aka Lee (Sibiraj), hangs out with a bunch of merry youths who do practically any work and play football in other times. It is a strong-willed and thick-tied group. Chellama (Nila), a worker in a facility for the mentally-challenged, is also kind of a groupie. Life is all merry and mirth till she espies Lee & co, attempting an assassination of sorts on a minister. The bid fails, but Chellama is shocked, and so are we. Why would this bunch want to take a crack at the murky world of politics and cricket?

Well, the answer unspools back into a college where Lee and his team are raring to go as footballers and cricketers. They have a committed mentor in Butthiran (Prakash Raj). Though a coach, he is a friend, philosopher, and guide—a kind of omnibus figure for the youngsters. Just when the boys are making the right progress, a problem erupts in the form of Rangabashyam (Zakir Hussain). He is a scumbag, but also the college principal, and he wants his son to be on this all-conquering team.

The coach, with Chappellesque firmness, says no to this and wants to pick his team on merit, but the principal kicks the team and its coach out of the college itself, so they gravitate towards another college and again start doing well as a team, and when they win a big and prestigious tournament, Rangabashyam throws a major spanner in the works.

He scuttles the rise of Lee and Co., and the stifling is so bad that one member commits suicide, and the team slowly disintegrates. On the other hand, Rangabashyam rises up in the big, bad world of politics. He ends up as a minister. The rest of the movie deals with the conflicts between the two.
