A deeply unsettling documentary that unravels a mystery of identity and deception, where the truth becomes increasingly elusive and disturbing.

In 1994, a 13-year-old boy disappeared without a trace from his home in San Antonio, Texas. Three-and-a-half years later, he is found alive in a village in southern Spain with a horrifying story of kidnap and torture. His family is overjoyed to bring him home. But all is not quite as it seems.
