From Emmy(R)-winner Tom Fontana, Academy Award(R)-nominee Will Rokos and
Academy Award-winner Barry Levinson comes
Copper, BBC America's first original scripted series. Copper is set in 1860s New York City. The
10-part drama centers on Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones, MI-5), an
intense, rugged Irish-American cop working the city's notorious Five
Points neighborhood. Corcoran is struggling to maintain his moral
compass in a turbulent world, while on an emotional and relentless quest
to learn the truth about the disappearance of his wife and the death of
his daughter. His friendship with two Civil War compatriots - the
wayward son of a wealthy industrialist and an African American physician
who secretly assists Corcoran with his detective work - takes him to
the contrasting worlds of elegant Fifth Avenue and an emerging
African-American community in rural northern Manhattan. The three men
share a secret from their experience on the battlefield that
inextricably links their lives forever.
