60. roky 19. storočia na juhu Manhattanu. Občianska vojna je v plnom prúde a Amerika stojí na pokraji chaosu. Pre chudobných obyvateľov New Yorku to však nie je jediná vojna. Druhá sa odohráva priamo v uliciach za ich oknami. V tomto období sa odohráva príbeh prisťahovalca Amsterdama. Ten sa po pätnásťročnom pobyte vo väzení vracia do Five Points, aby tu pomstil smrť svojho otca, ktorú má na svedomí mocný šéf protiprisťahovaleckého gangu William Cutting. Problémy sa ale stupňujú, keď sa zoznámi s tajomnou vreckárkou Jenny, ktorou je okamžite očarený jej dokonalou samostatnosťou a neprehliadnuteľným pôvabom. Ona má však aj svoju minulosť, čo nečakane skomplikuje jeho plán. Amsterdamova cesta sa postupne mení na boj o osobné prežitie a nájdenie útočiska pre jeho ľud.

Počas vojny medzi Severom a Juhom vznikla vo federalistickej armáde prvá bojová jednotka zložená z černošských vojakov. Fakt, že občianska vojna sa koná v ich mene, sa neodráža v postavení černošských vojakov, ktorých berú viac ako sluhov, než ako rovnocenných ľudí. Neoficiálnymi vodcami černošských vojakov sú bývalý hrobár, seržant John Rawlins a povrchný bývalý otrok Trip, ktorí sú reprezentantmi mozgu a srdca organizácie. Napriek všetkému pohŕdaniu, vojaci 54. regimentu dokázali svoju odvahu a odhodlanie v urputnom boji pri pevnosti Fort Wagner, keď bojovali s asi tisíckou južanských obrancov pevnosti. A práve táto bitka zmenila mnohé.

The series initially starred veteran movie supporting actor Ward Bond as the wagon master, later replaced upon his death by John McIntire, and Robert Horton as the scout, subsequently replaced by lookalike Robert Fuller a year after Horton had decided to leave the series.
