SINOPSI
In 1860's lower Manhattan, at a time of lawlessness,
rampant political corruption and great unrest, Amsterdam Vallon,
a young Irish-American immigrant is released from prison. After
fifteen years of incarceration he returns to the Five Points
section of the city, bent on revenge against William Cutting,
a.k.a Bill the Butcher, the powerful anti-immigrant gang leader
who killed Amsterdam's father. Amsterdam knows the first step
toward accomplishing his mission is to infiltrate Bill's inner
circle. However, he finds his difficulties increasing after
meeting Jenny Everdeane, an enigmatic pickpocket whose fierce
independence and undeniable beauty fascinate him. Yet Jenny has
a past too, which unexpectedly complicates his plan. Amsterdam's
journey becomes a fight for both personal survival and to find a
place for his people. The struggle reaches a fevered crescendo
during the 1863 Civil War Drafts Riots--the most explosive
episode of urban unrest the American nation had yet seen.
