Netflixs latest documentary, 'Con Mum' is the kind of true-crime story that leaves your jaw on the floor and your faith in humanity severely shaken.

It unravels the shocking story of Graham Hornigold, a renowned British pastry chef who falls victim to an elaborate con which is orchestrated by a woman claiming to be his long-lost mother.

This turns into a twisted web of manipulation, deceit and a desperate search for love that ends in financial ruins.

At first glance, Hornigolds life seemed like a success story. Born in 1974 on a British army base in Germany, his childhood was anything but easy.
