New York City, winter 1888. A jewel thief dubbed the 'Robin Hood of the Lower East Side' has been stealing from the city's wealthiest and giving to the poor. Reporter Genevieve Stewart decides to chase the story but gets more than she bargained for: a murder victim sprawled in a dark alley. A handsome neighbourhood tough comes to her rescue - but then she encounters the same man at a glamorous ball a few nights later. Could this be her Robin Hood? Is he also the killer? From the glittering lights of Fifth Avenue to the sordid back alleys of Five Points, the truth is just one murder away.
