In 1895, a young immigrant couple is refused entry into Manhattan because they have consumption. When their infant son is not allowed entry to the country without them, the couple decide to place him in a model sailboat named "City of Justice" to float there safely.
In 1916, the infant boy has grown up to be Peter Lake, a thief who was raised by a demon posing as the gangster Pearly Soames. But when Peter decides to leave Pearly's gang and the only life he’s known, Pearly is infuriated, and has his gang hunt down Peter. Peter is rescued by a mysterious white horse, his guardian angel. Although Peter hopes to move to Florida and come back in the summer, the horse encourages him to steal from one last mansion. The mansion is the home of Beverly Penn, a young woman dying of tuberculosis. While her publisher father Isaac and younger sister Willa go out, feverish Beverly takes a cold bath. She goes downstairs to play the piano while Peter is trying to unlock the safe. Peter discovers Beverly and she makes him a cup of tea. They tell each other about their stories and fall in love.
