1860's New York is a place in which the municipal police fight the city police, and gangs run the city. In this tribal, sometimes feudal, society, built on blood rituals, folklore, and American mythology, faith binds the various tribes, and the two dominant tribes are the Catholic Dead Rabbits, whose members include various oppressed groups, especially Irish and Blacks, and the Protestant American-born Natives. After the Dead Rabbits and their leader Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson) are defeated in battle in 1846, the members of the Dead Rabbits are disbursed. The power of the Natives, and that of their leader, Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis), continues to grow through their cruelty and oppression. However, after 16 years in Hellgate House of Reform, Priest Vallon's son, Amsterdam (Leonardo Di Caprio) returns to Five Points to seek vengeance.
