We deliver the oxygen and necessities to keep people alive,” ‘5-8’ sayd in a voiceover as he weathers sandstorms and powerful winds to install oxygen tanks in the underground homes of citizens.“Deliverymen must be tough, for they must risk their lives to protect their trucks from hunters’ attacks.

That is why people dream of becoming deliverymen,” he explains, as those unable to live above ground attempt to hijack his supply truck.The series will follow ‘5-8’ as he carries out his duties, and crosses paths with Sa-wol (Kang Yoo-seok), a refugee who wishes to become a delivery driver someday.
