The story follows the legendary courier ‘5-8’ (played by Kim Woo-bin), who, with his extraordinary fighting skills, meets a refugee boy named Sa-wol (played by Kang Yoo-seok), who dreams of becoming a delivery driver himself. Together, they embark on a mission to save humanity and become the ultimate Black Knights.
