To prevent his undocumented mother from being deported, a young British-Pakistani man must act as an undercover informant for a couple of hard-boiled counter-terrorism agents.

Check out the official U.S. trailer for Amazon's new British import "Informer," which stars newcomer Nabhaan Rizwan as a twenty-something man from East London who finds himself in over his head when he is forced to work as a government informant and infiltrate local Pakistani cliques to report on any possible terrorist activities.

Bel Powley (White Boy Rick, The Diary of a Teenage Girl) and Paddy Considine (Peaky Blinders, The Death of Stalin) co-star in the six-episode series as a pair of heartless British counter-terrorism agents.

Executive produced by "Skyfall" director Sam Mendes, directed by Jonny Campbell (Westworld, The Casual Vacancy, Doctor Who) and written by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, "Informer" will make its Stateside debut next month, to stream on Amazon Prime beginning January 11th.
