Robert Langdon, światowej sławy specjalista od symboli, zostaje niespodziewanie wezwany do Waszyngtonu, aby na prośbę swojego przyjaciela i mentora Petera Solomona, prominentnego członka loży masońskiej, wygłosić odczyt na Kapitolu. Kiedy dociera na miejsce, okazuje się, że zaproszenie było starannie przygotowaną pułapką. Na wieczór nie zaplanowano żadnego odczytu. Pośrodku historycznej Rotundy ktoś umieścił odciętą dłoń Petera z wytatuowanymi symbolami i masońskim pierścieniem. To mistyczne zaproszenie do zaginionego świata skrywającego tajemną wiedzę. Chcąc uratować porwanego przyjaciela, Langdon musi przyjąć zaproszenie i odnaleźć starożytny portal położony gdzieś na terenie miasta. Ma na to zaledwie kilkanaście godzin. W przeciwnym razie Solomon zginie. Rozpoczyna się szalony wyścig z czasem. Robert podąża tam, dokąd prowadzą go zaszyfrowane wskazówki: przesłanie ukryte w kwadratach magicznych, w Melancholii Albrechta Dürera, słynne rzeźbie Kryptos zdobiącej siedzibę CIA i na gigantycznym białym obelisku upamiętniającym prezydenturę Jerzego Waszyngtona. Do tajemnych komnat i świątyń znajdujących się pod jednym z najpotężniejszych miast świata. Do miejsc skrywających prastare sekrety loży masońskiej i tajemnice, których wielu wolałoby nie ujawniać.
