The Five Points area of New York is ruled by gangs. Gangs belonging to different origins - the natives led by Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting, and the immigrant foreigners led by 'Priest' Vallon.

In a 'battle' to decide the 'ruler' of Five Points, The Butcher kills the Priest. Amsterdam Vallon, the priest's son manages to escape. 

Fast forward slightly more than a decade - the Butcher is now the unchallenged ruler of the place. And, Amsterdam is back, to avenge his father's death.

Will he succeed?

Rating: Green - great story, great acting, superb screenplay! Forget the world, and get lost in the streets of mid-nineteenth century New York!
