What conditions create a vigilante? Is it a personal tragedy, the loss of a loved one, or the frustration over the inadequacies of current law enforcement? In the broken Britain of today, the Knight family attends the funeral of Gran, killed by a burglar. But the Knights aren't the only victims of unpunished criminals. There are plenty of others hurt and grieving in the English south coast town of Alverbank. As far as the vigilante is concerned, it's about victims, not statistics. The vigilante breaks the bones and cracks the heads of those guilty individuals who cause pain without remorse. Who is the vigilante, the one called the Black Knight? The police warn against taking the "law into your own hands." But the press love it and respond - "what law?" Will the Black Knight eventually cross the line and kill? Is the name a coincidence, or is the Knight family involved? Who will pay the ultimate price?
