Premise of 'New Amsterdam'

When New York homicide detective John Amsterdam says he brings a lifetime of experience to his work, he's not kidding -- and that's putting it mildly. Amsterdam, you see, isn't just legendary among his colleagues. He's also immortal, a former Dutch soldier in the 17th century colony of New Amsterdam who was granted eternal life and youth after saving an Indian girl from a massacre. The spell she wove in gratitude will be broken only when Amsterdam finds his true love. Yet while the enchantment has given Amsterdam centuries in which to hone his professional skills, he also has been forced to watch those close to him wither and die time after time. His sole confidant, at the moment, is jazz club owner Omar, who may harbor a few secrets of his own. Eva Marquez is Amsterdam's strong-willed partner, while Dr. Sara Dillane is the physician who treats Amsterdam when he suffers what appears to be a massive heart attack. Could this mean that true love is nearby?
