Kokkie is vooral het verhaal van Martin Kok zelf, opgetekend uit zijn mond. Over hoe miljoenen guldens verdwenen uit Volendam, hoe je hoeren de gevangenis binnen krijgt, de opbrengsten van een incassootje, de klanten van zijn escortservice en het succes van zijn web site Vlinderscrime. Onopgesmukt, onnavolgbaar en recht voor zijn raap. Martin Kok lag na twee doden, honderden hoeren en kilo's coke, de laatste maanden van zijn leven op ramkoers met de dood. En het kon hem geen barst schelen.
