Aruku, a guilt-stricken man, confesses to the cuddle of elephants, setting a group of forest officers and NGO workers into action - hunting for justice across India.
Mala and Alan crack the poachers' call logs, which leads to their first dangerous raid on unsuspecting locals.
The group closes in on the gang leader, Raaz, leading to a shocking discovery when they find him.
Mala goes on her own to pursue the truth about Raaz, while Alan must mend his collapsing marriage with Achala.
Alan leads an effort to kidnap a local corrupt politician - unbeknownst to Achala - while Mala must confront the true danger she's put everyone in as the team becomes deeper ensnared in the threatening world of animal poaching.
Months earlier, the poaching gang assembles and heads into the jungle for the elephant hunt; while in present day, Aruku leads Mala and her team into the jungle to retrace their steps to the crime scene.
Racing against the clock, Mala and Alan travel to Delhi to pursue the big fish - the well-connected ivory dealer - and along the way must come up with a plan to smuggle her back to Kerala, where they have the jurisdiction to arrest her.
Mala and her team face riotous crowds and corrupt local officials in Delhi while attempting to seize the largest cache of ivory in Indian history.
