Vavilon Berlin, proleće 1929. godine. Neizvesnost vlada u metropoli. Od ekonomije do kulture, od politike do podzemlja – sve je zahvatio čvrsti stisak radikalnih promena. Spekulacije i inflacija već polako nestaju na temeljima još uvek mlade Vajmarske republike. Sve veća nezaposlenost i siromaštvo u potpunom su kontrastu sa neumerenošću i raskalašnošću noćnog života grada i njegovom bujajućom kreativnom energijom. Gereon Rat, mladi policijski inspektor iz Kelna, prebačen je u Berlin da bi raskrinkao obruč pornografije kojim upravlja berlinska mafija. Ono što na prvi pogled izgleda kao jednostavan slučaj iznude, ubrzo prerasta u skandal koji će zauvek izmeniti živote Gereona i njegovih najbližih saradnika. Zajedno sa stenografkinjom Šarlot Riter i njenim partnerom, Brunom Volterom, Rat se suočava sa zamršenom mrežom korupcije, dilovanja droge i trgovine oružjem, zbog čega ulazi u egzistencijalni sukob, jer je rastrzan između odanosti i otkrivanja istine. Nama preostaje da se zapitamo ko je prijatelj, a ko neprijatelj u ovoj priči.
