It is 1845. NEW YORK sorts its first police force. The fantastic potato famine visits Ireland. These two seemingly disparate happenings will change NEW YORK. Forever. Timothy Wilde seems bar close to the Exchange, fantasizing about your day he has enough money to succeed the lady of his dreams. But when his dreams virtually incinerate in a open fire devastating downtown Manhattan, he sees himself disfigured, unemployed, and homeless. His old brother obtains Timothy a job in the recently minted NYPD, but he is highly skeptical of this new "police force". And he is less than excited that his new beat is the notoriously down-and-out Sixth Ward - at the boundary of Five Points, the world's most notorious slum. One nighttime, while making his rounds, Wilde virtually runs into a little slip of a girl - a girl only a decade old - dashing through the deep in her nightshift... covered head to bottom in blood. Timothy knows he should take the lady to the House of Refuge, yet he can't bring himself to get away from her. Instead, he requires her home, where she spins untamed stories, claiming that dozens of bodies are buried in the forest north of 23rd Block. Timothy isn't sure whether to believe her or not, but, as the reality unfolds, the hesitant copper star sees himself involved in a challenge for justice that almost costs him his brother, his romantic obsession, and his own life.
