The curse of the Chase family strikes again... It's 1862 and America is now engulfed in its bloody Civil War. The hatred of Unionists and Rebels reaches back to the lawless gangs - the Dead Rabbits and the Bowery Boys among them - of the notorious Five Points district of New York. Timothy Chase, the only surviving member of the cursed Chase family, has left the Dead Rabbits for a quieter life as Doctor Josiah Bartlett's adopted son. But when called to war, Timothy answers and fights on the opposing side of his one-time gang members. Will the deadly curse reawaken and claim the last Chase or will Bartlett be able to save Timothy?
