Five police officers in Hong Kong are kidnapped. The police commissioner is on a business trip overseas. Two vice commissioners, Sean Rau and M.B. Lee, then take over the case. The two vice commissioners are rivals who both vie for the police commissioner seat. At first, M.B. Lee takes the lead in the case, but comes to a dead end. Sean Lau then takes the lead, but he falls into a trap. Both men are then investigated by the ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption).

《余罪》是由张睿执导的影视作品，张一山、孙佳雨、吴优等参加演出。按照以往警匪题材影视剧的套路，主演人设但凡也得是个出身劳动人民家庭、性格耿直、有着英雄梦的有为青年，但《余罪》却恰恰相反。主人公爱问时尚网“贱人余”被塑造成一个反英雄的非高大上形象，甚至可以说是胸无大志，性格顽劣，逃学、打架、团伙作案一样也不少。
《余罪》第二季将于6月13日回归，同样是每周一、二、三晚八点更新。
