The story of Dirty Lines starts in 1987's Amsterdam, at a time when Dutch society was changing rapidly. Psychology student Marly Salomon takes on a side job working for a brand new firm: Teledutch - a company started by two brothers, Frank and Ramon Stigter, who established Europe’s first erotic telephone lines. Frank and Ramon become rich overnight and Marly finds herself immersed in this wild and rapid transformation. The final years of the Cold War sparked a sense of hope and inspired a new generation to celebrate life to its fullest. Amsterdam became the center of that cultural revolution with a radically new form of music: house and a new love drug: XTC. The erotic phone lines offer the opportunity to experience anonymous sex in a new way, changing the morality of its consumers, but also very much the people creating it.

A few years have passed, and after a painful breakup, Iris's life is finally back to normal! She's pregnant by her true love, Reza, and her son adores him. When he even gets down on one knee after the birth, everything is one big, sugary-sweet pink cloud. Or... is it? A blended family, your ex's girlfriend interfering in everything, a strained relationship with your mother: in reality, it all brings a lot of hassle and a lot of irritation. If Iris goes completely off the rails, she unintentionally jeopardizes her dream wedding, but luckily, there are always her friends.
