What is Imposter about?
The four-part series, billed as a "gripping" drama, is set in a coastal Victorian town, where a bitter family feud has erupted. "Matriarch Helen refuses to sell her sprawling seaside hotel, despite pressure from her three adult children," reads the synopsis. "Little do they know, Helen is hiding a secret: a daughter she gave up for adoption decades ago. When Amanda suddenly appears, Helen welcomes her with open arms— but is Amanda who she says she is? The lucrative hotel is the ultimate prize, and a twisted scheme soon spirals into betrayal and ultimately, murder."
