One fateful day in the early 1900s, Emmett A. Kelly quits his job in pursuit of a grander life, despite his father's pessimistic objections.
En route to Colorado, Emmett meets Tom Quinn, an Irish immigrant, along with sisters Nora and Alice. Upon first glance, their goals are all similar: to shed their past and go forth into a brighter future. The journey toward that brighter future for Emmett, however, is paved with treachery and shortcuts whereas Alice, Nora, and Tom believe in a more moral approach.
Emmett opens up a Meat Market and Grocery, and Tom becomes a talented carpenter and husband to Maggie Sullivan. Despite initially wanting to leave behind the meat industry, Emmett instead expands and eventually becomes the titular butcher on Colfax Ave. Alice spends some of her years in solitude when Nora is betrothed. Years pass before Emmett, Tom, Alice, and Maggie are together again. But unfortunately, it's under tragic circumstances.
