Babylon is set in South London at the start of the '80s, a time when reggae music was at its peak and racism was rife, and follows Blue, the lead rapper for Ital Lion Sound, in the run-up to a Sound System competition with a rival crew led by Jah Shaka. Over the course of the film Blue clashes with his friends, family, police and the violent racists who endeavour to make life hard for him; all of which in turn set up for the film's violent climax.
