Crime lord Rocky Thorpe is impersonated by police officer John Franklin in order to infiltrate his organization and bring an end to it once and for all.

Synopsis

En 1846, le quartier de Five Points, un faubourg pauvre de New York, est le théâtre d'une guerre des gangs entre émigrants irlandais d'un côté, les Dead Rabbits menés par Père Vallon, et les Native Americans de l'autre, dirigés par le sanguinaire Bill le Boucher. Ce dernier met rapidement en déroute les Dead Rabbits en assassinant leur chef, et prend par la même occasion le contrôle exclusif des rues de la "grosse pomme". Afin de renforcer ses pouvoirs, Bill s'allie avec Boss Tweed, un politicien influent.
