The plot of Mafia movie 

Aryan works in the Narcotics Division with colleagues Sathya and Varun. His twin brother Dilip died from a heroin overdose, and his decision to become a police officer stems from his desire to eliminate a criminal organisation called Snake's Den. Aryan's team consists of his supervisor Selvam and Mugilan, a neighbour and activist. Selvam's murder exposes the involvement of a drug lord. Mugilan falls victim to the drug boss. As he lies dying, he gives Aryan a USB drive with information about the drug kingpin.

Diwakar Kumaran (D.K.), a benevolent drug trafficker, has been identified as a drug tycoon. D.K. and his brother/bodyguard Rudra have connections with corrupt politicians, making it impossible to stop them in their pursuits.

But in his final moments,  D.K. informs Aryan that the primary drug kingpin is Aryan's twin Dilip, aka Dexter, who is still alive.
