Set against the backdrop of 1841, a series of brutal murders grips New York City, including the high-profile case of Mary Rogers, a tobacco shop girl. High Constable Jacob Hays takes on the daunting task of solving these crimes, which intertwine with the violent lives of figures like John Colt and Tommy Coleman. His decade-long investigation reveals a web of gang wars, grave robbing, and literary clues from Edgar Allan Poe, blending historical intrigue with the dark underbelly of society.
