New York, 1863. Lower Manhattan is a place of lawlessness, rampant

Amsterdam
Vallon (LEONARDO DICAPRIO ), a young Irish-American immigrant,
returns to the Five Points after fifteen years. There he seeks
revenge against William Cutting, a.k.a. Bill the Butcher (DANIEL
DAY-LEWIS ), the powerful anti-immigrant gang leader who killed
Amsterdam's father. Amsterdam knows the first step toward accomplishing
his mission is to infiltrate Bill's inner circle. But he is also
drawn to Jenny Everdeane (CAMERON DIAZ ), an enigmatic pickpocket
whose fierce independence and undeniable beauty fascinate him.
Yet Jenny's hidden past unexpectedly complicates his plan.
Amsterdam's journey becomes a fight for both personal survival
