Set in Thiruvananthapuram, the series centers on the life of Ratnamma and her family, with a particular focus on the complex, often humorous love-hate relationship between her sons-in-law, Kanakan and Cleatus. Each episode features standalone stories that explore various incidents and dynamics among the characters. Key figures include Thankam, Cleatus's wife; Lilly, Kanakan's wife; Muthu, the daughter of Cleatus and Thankam; and Ronald, the brother of both Lilly and Cleatus. Recurring characters also include Girirajan, the uncle of Kanakan and Thankam, and his wife Girija.[4][5]
Years later, Cleatus has taken a temporary break from active politics and established a manpower recruitment agency. Kanakan has been promoted to the rank of Superintendent of Police. Thankam has been elected as a ward member representing a political party opposed to Cleatus's. Lilly works as a dance teacher. Akshaya, also known as Muthu, is pursuing medical studies while residing in a hostel and frequently visits home. She is in a romantic relationship with her neighbour's brother, Lallu.
