Synopsis of The Informant
Spring 1937, Nanjing. Chen Shenxing, an underground Communist Party member codenamed “Kite,” is embedded in the Kuomintang’s confidential affairs office. When his handler, “Ghost,” suddenly goes missing, Chen is left like a chess piece cut off from its line. As the danger of his identity being exposed draws ever closer, Shen Jingqiu, a calm and decisive doctor codenamed “Scalpel,” enters his world as his new contact. Under the close surveillance of military intelligence inspector Hou Zhenyun, Chen’s former classmate and friend, the two reconnect and continue passing on intelligence.
From the fall of Nanjing to the bombing of Chongqing, from the conspiracy behind the “Tong Project” to the anti-Communist “Undercurrent” plan, Chen Shenxing and Shen Jingqiu stand shoulder to shoulder, bound by their faith in each other and protecting their convictions in the narrow space between life and death. But when the ultimate intelligence Ghost gave his life to obtain comes to light, and Hou Zhenyun’s suspicions finally approach the truth, they will face the cruelest choice of all.
