Synopsis
Nicholas was 13 the day he disappeared (June 13, 1994). He would have been 16 and 8 months when he was reported found in Spain (October 7, 1997)... In 1994 a 13-year-old boy disappears without a trace from San Antonio, Texas. Three and a half years later he is found alive, thousands of miles away in a village in southern Spain with a story of kidnap and torture. His family is overjoyed to bring him home. But all is not quite as it seems. The boy bears many of the same distinguishing marks he always had, but why does he now have a strange accent? Why does he look so different? And why doesn't the family seem to notice these glaring inconsistencies? It's only when an investigator starts asking questions that this strange tale takes an even stranger turn...─©Indomina



“[THE IMPOSTER...tells a true story that is so 'oh wow!' unbelievable, so deeply, compellingly stranger than fiction, that you don't so much watch the film as get addicted to it.”—Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“[THE IMPOSTER spins]...a story that nearly takes your head off with a series of amazements.... You won't be able to get it out of your head.”—Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“[THE IMPOSTER is...a mind-boggling relay of official incompetence, familial self-deception and ingenious duplicity... Mr. Layton lightens the mood without making light of the crime.”—Jeanette Catsoulis, New York Times
