For those unfamiliar with Thaai Kizhavi, the plot revolves around Pavunuthayi, a 70-year-old woman who works as a vicious moneylender. She is known for her brazen and independent character, and she lives far away from her children.

However, when Pavunuthayi witnesses a disturbing incident, her boys return home, reviving old scars and revealing a dysfunctional family dynamic. The film investigates the consequences of these occurrences for the family and the villagers.
