From the very first episode, viewers are aware that ‘Amanda’ isn’t who she said she was. However, no one, including the ‘O’Riley’ family, was ready for the chaos she would bring with her arrival in Melbourne. It all begins with a chance encounter with ‘Simon O’Riley’, presenting an opportunity to a con-woman named ‘Claire’ in England, who decides to pretend to be his mom’s long-lost daughter. Their plan is simple: divide the family, conquer the business, and sell it for millions.
However, while their plan starts off great with ‘Helen’ being elated about her daughter’s return, ‘Simon’s’ other siblings, ‘Kate’ and ‘Ian’, are not impressed. Especially because it paints them in a bad light, so they plan to overmedicate their mother. Nonetheless, with bodies piling up, the real ‘Amanda’ stays absent. Now, the question is: which pair will succeed, or is there another twist waiting to throw them off balance? Let’s find out.
The Imposter and the search for the real ‘Amanda’
The Imposter, like its name, is the saga of a missing daughter and a con artist who tries to take her place. However, when ‘Kate’ realises that her fake sister, ‘Amanda’, is playing her, she decides to do her own digging and reaches out to the real ‘Amanda’s’ father, ‘Bill’. She hopes that ‘Bill’ would tempt ‘Amanda’ away from their mother, allowing ‘Kate’s’ own fractured relationship with her mother to heal.
