Amsterdam Vallon, our protagonist, returns to the Five Points neighborhood in New York City after spending his childhood in an orphanage. His main objective is to avenge his father's death, who was ruthlessly murdered by Bill the Butcher, the notorious leader of the nativist gang, the Bowery Boys.

Upon his return, Amsterdam seeks to infiltrate Bill the Butcher's inner circle and gain his trust. He befriends and becomes a trusted ally of Johnny Sirocco, a pickpocket and member of the gang. As Amsterdam gains more influence within the gang, he learns about the complex power dynamics within the Five Points. The neighborhood is comprised of various rival ethnic groups, including Irish immigrants, African Americans, and the newly arriving wave of immigrants from Europe, particularly the Chinese.

As Amsterdam immerses himself in the world of the Five Points, he also becomes involved with Jenny Everdeane, a charismatic and street-smart pickpocket. Their romantic involvement further complicates Amsterdam's plans for revenge, especially when it is revealed that Jenny is also romantically connected to Bill the Butcher.

Amsterdam's quest for revenge is further challenged by the ongoing citywide conflict between the nativist-based gangs and the newly formed metropolitan police force. Mayor Fernando Wood, who is sympathetic to the native-born gangsters, manipulates their power to consolidate his own rule, exacerbating the already tense situation in the Five Points.

An important turning point occurs when the Civil War draft riots break out in New York City. This violent upheaval provides Amsterdam with the opportunity to ignite a full-blown rebellion against Bill the Butcher and his gang. Rallying the different ethnic groups who have long been oppressed by the nativist gangs, Amsterdam forms a diverse army to challenge the Bowery Boys and restore peace to the Five Points.

In a climactic showdown, Amsterdam and his army go head-to-head against Bill the Butcher and his forces. The battle takes place within the burned-out shell of the Five Points. During the intense fight, Amsterdam finally confronts Bill the Butcher, and the two engage in a brutal and visceral duel.

Ultimately, Amsterdam manages to kill Bill the Butcher, fulfilling his long-awaited vengeance. However, the cost is high, with many lives lost in the process. As the dust settles, Amsterdam reflects on the complex history and struggles of the Five Points, aiming to rebuild the neighborhood and foster a more harmonious and accepting community, where different ethnic groups can coexist with respect and unity.
