Copper

New York on the brink of Lincoln's assassination. General Corcoran struggles to tame the wartime metropolis while wrestling with personal demons, including the betrayal of his wife and best friend.

New York City is on the brink of Lincoln's assassination. In its tough immigrant Irish neighborhood, crime continues to thrive even with power player General Brendan Donovan now at the helm of the local police. “We need order,” Donovan thunders; but hot-headed detective Corcoran refuses to blindly obey this downtown Machiavelli and keeps on dispensing justice the way he thinks best – rules or no rules.

In Season Two, Corcoran struggles to tame the wartime metropolis while wrestling with personal demons, including the betrayal of his wife and best friend. He and those around him continue to torment and stand by one another, struggle and suffer, kill and forgive as they turn New York into the bracing melting-pot that we know today.
