Entertainment invites you to join New York’s Finest when COPPER shoots
its way to Blu-ray and DVD on October 30, 2012. Wall Street Journal
calls this gripping drama “powerful,” while Boston Globe says, “COPPER casts
a spell.” The first original scripted series from BBC AMERICA which
premiered on Sunday, August 19, became the channel’s highest rated series
premiere ever when it delivered 1.8 million* viewers in total audience. The
series, which is filled with intrigue, corruption, mystery and murder, follows
Detective Kevin Corcoran – a rugged Irish immigrant cop – as he seeks justice
for the powerless in the notorious immigrant neighborhood of Five Points.
Created by Emmy®-winner Tom Fontana (Homicide:
Life on the Street, Oz, Borgia), Academy Award®-nominee Will
Rokos (Monster’s Ball, Southland) and executive produced by Academy
Award®-winner Barry Levinson (Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man, You
Don’t Know Jack) and Cineflix Studios President, Christina Wayne (Broken
Trail and executive in charge of Mad Men), together
with Fontana and Rokos – this series will keep you at the edge of your seat
till the very last moment.
Set in 1864 New York City, Detective Kevin Corcoran (Tom
Weston-Jones) returns home from the Civil War to find his daughter has been
murdered and his wife has disappeared. Distraught and searching for answers,
Corcoran’s relentless quest to find justice for his family fuels his pursuit to
help the unfortunate residents of Five Points. Assisted by Sixth Precinct
partner and friend, Detective Francis Maguire (Kevin Ryan) and Detective Andrew
O’Brien (Dylan Taylor), Corcoran goes the extra mile when investigating a
crime, much to the dismay of his superiors.
More often than not, Corcoran’s investigations lead him to
the steps of the elite citizens of Fifth Avenue. When a young girl is murdered
in Five Points, he finds himself at the home of trusted friend and Manhattan
aristocrat, Robert Morehouse (Kyle Schmidt). Mustered out of the 71st regiment
with Corcoran, Morehouse feels more at home with the immigrants in Five Points
than with high-society types. When Corcoran digs into the girl’s
murder, Morehouse sets him on the trail of those who believe their status puts
them above the law.
Corcoran is thrust into the contrasting worlds of elegant
and corrupt Fifth Avenue, and the emerging African-American community in
Northern Manhattan with secrets from the battlefield that will haunt him
forever.
