However, Geri harbours a grave secret. He is an informant for the State Security Department and he doesn’t have a choice: if he wants to keep his seriously ill younger brother alive, he needs the medication provided by the state. While Száva is trying to identify the mole in the group, Geri wrestles with a daily challenge: how can he deceive the State Security Department and retain his new friends? Time is running out, and before the final showdown, he must decide which side to choose.

The show also stars Júlia Szász (Neither with You [+lee también:

). It is being produced by HBO Europe's Anna Závorszky and Proton Cinema's Viktória Petrányi, best known for her work with Kornél Mundruczó. The executive producers for HBO Europe are Camilla Curtis, Johnathan Young and Antony Root.

“As soon as we read Bálint Szentgyörgyi’s pilot script, we were hooked on The Informant,” says Young. “The opportunity to revisit a well-known period in Hungary’s history with fresh eyes and vivid, young characters was too good to miss. We hope our show will surprise the audience as well as entertain. This is not the grim eighties, as is sometimes portrayed. Our characters are determined to make the most of their lives, and are embracing every opportunity with warmth and looking forward to the future with optimism.”
