Timothy Wilde er "kobberstjerne" i New Yorks nydannede politikorps i 1840'erne. Timothy har arbejdet der i et halvt år, da han kommer på sporet af en grusomt brutal bande, der kalder sig for 'Blackbirders'. Banden kidnapper uskyldige, frie sorte new yorkere for at saelge dem som slaver til plantageejere i Sydstaterne. Lucy Adams er ung og smuk og da hun rystet anmelder at hendes søster af blandet race og hendes lille nevø er blevet kidnappet, får hun Timothy sat på sagen.

Vi befinder os i New York i 1845. Byens allerførste politistyrke ser dagens lys og den unge bartender Timothy Wilde bliver ad kringlede veje og meget modvilligt tilknyttet dette nye korps. Han saettes til at patruljere i Gotham, byens farligste slum, i gyderne ved Five Points på det allersydligste Manhattan, hvor de fattige horder af indvandrere myldrer til og slår sig ned. En sen nat finder Timothy på sin runde en tiårige pige, der bogstavelig talt er smurt ind i blod. Hun rabler om barnemord og massegrave oppe i det vilde skovområde nord for 23rd Street. Men kan hun virkelig tale sandt?
