Armstrong's father died in a street conflagration when he was six years old because of a land grab. In the final battle, the brave father was stabbed to death with a knife by Bill, who was nicknamed "The Butcher", the leader of the local gang. Even more cruel, Armstrong watched his father breathlessly beside him!
Bill didn't cut the grass and roots, but sent Armstrong to the young school. 15 years later, Armstrong returned. He took refuge in Bill. With his strength, courage and strategy, he gradually gained the respect of Bill. Bill taught Armstrong how to slay like a father. Bill also won the favor of beauties. However, everything that Bill did was to kill his father's enemies...
and all this happened in New York during the American Civil War, when a large number of Irish people poured into this port city. In order to defeat the slave-holding states in the South, the government will implement unfair conscription orders. In this context, the road to revenge has become more bloody.
Fortunately, when everything is over, the humiliation and glory that have been used are all gone, and the broken-hearted hero is accompanied by a beautiful woman!
