A true crime documentary about the case of the Barclay family, who welcomed their missing son Nicholas back into their lives only to find out he was an imposter. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the "capture" or deceit to be found…

One of those strange-but-true stories that makes for a compelling film no matter how its made. And it was pretty competently made, with the involvement of all the principals.
