Informer TV Series Plot
Informer TV series follows a web of complex characters as their lives get intertwined in a world where lines are increasingly being drawn and sides are being taken. We meet Raza, a young second generation British-Pakistani man from East London who is coerced by Gabe, a Counter-Terrorism Officer into informing for him after he finds out that Raza might have an illegal immigrant in his family.
Gabe, a one time brilliant undercover operative, now works at London’s Elite Counter Terrorism unit. Gabe switches easily between his various roles – husband, father, mentor, protégé, cop, zealot, and has succeeded in maintaining his previous undercover life. But as his worlds begin to collide, the intricate barriers he’s created come crashing down.
Gabe’s partner Holly, a star cadet, soon learns that recruiting and handling informants is not as simple as win or lose. To manage an informant is to engage in a battle of human emotions.
As the central counter-terrorism investigation heats up, the stakes for all three, their families and relationships, get higher and higher. The series shows us what happens when you, or your friends, family or neighbours fall on the wrong side of that line and the personal becomes political?
