Mekko leaves prison, having served a long sentence for having killed his cousin in a brawl. He reflects on his gift of knowing and the path that he strayed from; where as a young boy, he was considered a seer by the old people. He is haunted by visions of his own death and his ultimate fight with an evil spirit witch that takes the form of warriors or animal spirits. He know he must confront it, but he fears his own weakness. Mekko meets an Indian who claims to be a warrior, but who actually preys on the weak, while demanding respect. Mekko looks into the man's heart and sees that it is the dwelling place of a witch who has killed many times. Inevitably, a confrontation arises. Mekko tries to avoid it, but he knows that the witch is hunting him.
