Eko follows the story of an elderly woman, Mlaathi Chedathi, who lives in a secluded hilly region of Kattukunnu near the Kerala–Karnataka border. With her children living far away, her only human company is her caretaker, Peeyos.
Mlaathi is one of the many wives of the infamous dog breeder Kuriyachan, who is being hunted by both the state and a terror group. While he remains underground, his wife and caretaker begin to uncover hidden truths about him, unraveling a tale filled with mystery and tension.
