What is Sirai about?

Cop-turned director Tamizh has helmed Sirai, which is about an escort cop who finds himself in trouble after a convict escapes from his custody enroute to court. Head constable V Karthivaran (Vikram Prabhu) is informed about IPC Section 129, which states that the said cop might face imprisonment of up to three years. Will Abdul (LK Akshay Kumar) manage to escape and evade the cops? Why does he wish to escape and whom did he kill to end up in prison? Will Kathiravan face the wrath of the force? These are the questions that Sirai answers.
