While Nicola  knew the underworld’s dirty secrets, they had no idea of hers.  This explosive drama is the untold story of how one woman’s secret double life helped to fight the Melbourne gangland wars and trigger a Royal Commission.

Set against the backdrop of the Melbourne gangland war, the Nicola Gobbo story is the greatest legal scandal Australia has ever seen. Informer 3838 is a sophisticated and complex character study of a remarkable woman operating in a heavily masculine world under extraordinary circumstances.
