Description:

"The Impostor" is the South African story of a lost soul who was recently fired and forced to leave his house. He takes residence in a country house that his successful brother purchased years earlier but has since been vacant. When Adam moves in, he is hoping to recover from the loss of his job and his home in the city. But when he meets Canning, a shadowy figure from his childhood, and Canning's enigmatic and beautiful wife, a sinister new chapter in his life begins. Canning has inherited a vast fortune and a giant folly in the veld, a magical place of fantasy and dream that seduces Adam and transforms him absolutely, violently and perhaps for ever.
