Storyline:
Black Knight is set in the year 2071 when it is impossible to live without a respirator due to extreme air pollution.

The legendary delivery man who goes by the name ‘5-8’ with extraordinary fighting skills meets ‘Sa-wol’, a refugee who dreams of becoming a delivery driver, the only hope of refugees.
