Raza (Nabhaan Rizwan), the son of Pakistani immigrants from East London, becomes a pawn in the ambitions of counterterrorism expert Gabe (Paddy Considine), who forces the young man into undercover work as an informant. In the process, Gabe himself has a more than opaque past that threatens to unravel when his new partner (Bel Powley) starts asking a lot of questions. The result: an explosive mix in which the lines between right and wrong threaten to become increasingly blurred as the counter-terrorism operation moves towards its inevitable climax.
"Informer" is a sophisticated, character driven thriller about Raza, a young, second generation Pakistani man from East London who is coerced by Gabe, a counter-terrorism officer to go undercover and inform for him. As the central counter-terrorism investigation heats up, the stakes get higher and higher.
