MEKKO paints the portrait of a homeless Native American parolee in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As he struggles to find his way in the outside world after two decades behind bars, the titular Mekko discovers a chaotic, yet occasionally profound and beautiful community of impoverished natives. Bunnie, one of his old carousing buddies from his wilder youth, forms part of this group. Though Mekko finds some peace in this society that exists on the fringes of our modern world, he also uncovers a darkness that threatens to destroy it from within. After a tragic series of events, Mekko dedicates himself to a quest for revenge which he believes will cleanse the sickness from this collective of marginalized individuals, and perhaps atone for the sins that landed him in jail so many years ago.
