New York City, 1864.
While America is torn apart by Civil War, the streets of New York City's Five Points neighborhood are overrun with violence and debauchery. Gangs and political corruption subjugate the impoverished populace.
Owen McCoy, once an orphan taken in by the infamous Bowery Boys gang, now finds himself as an reluctant enforcer of the gang. He is young, reserved and keeps to himself; feeling a sense of loyalty to the gang that took him in when he was only a child.
Abigail "Abbie" Davenport is a beautiful young debutante who is shy in her own right and spurns off the advances of the young men who wish to court her merely because her father is a powerful political figure.
Owen and Abbie's lives collide when each is an unwitting participant in a political assassination plot. While forced to go on the run from gangs, bounty hunters and the political machine that yearns to silence them, their differences and distrust of each other are soon replaced by love for one another.
Through a series of events that place Owen in the notorious Civil War prison, Andersonville, and Abbie in the clutches of forces that may cost her her life, can the love of the unlikely couple bring them back together?
