He says he's a bookish Anglo-Irishman trying to live a peaceful life with his wife Miranda. This series follows the twists and turns that follow, is he master criminal, trying to escape the handcuffs of justice? Or victim of a case of mistaken identity?
EPISODE 1: Accused of being Nicholas Rossi, one of America's most wanted men, and having faked his own death - recovering Covid patient Arthur Knight and his wife Miranda insist it is all a terrible mistake. And that they are an entirely innocent couple. British and North American victims of Rossi's victims speak out and describe how he infiltrated their lives and exploited them financially and sexually.
EPISODE 2 From behind bars Arthur Knight rails against the injustice of his incarceration and his distressed wife Miranda is at a loss as to what they can do to get their lives back. But there is hope when he rolls back his sleeves for an investigating journalist and the supposedly incriminating tattoos that match Nicholas Rossi's are nowhere to be seen. Rossi victim, Mary Grebinski, describes the shocking assault upon her 19-year-old self by Rossi, and the extraordinary aftermath in which Rossi takes legal action against her for the reputational damage to him.
EPISODE 3 A possible explanation for the missing tattoos and further emerging fingerprint and dental evidence linking Arthur Knight to Nicholas Rossi emerge in an episode in which the Scottish Court categorically affirms Rossi and Knight are one and the same person. But Rossi refuses to accept this... and it is still uncertain whether his English wife is a victim or a collaborator. Rossi's Mormon ex-wife, Kathryn, reveals the horror of her brief marriage to the narcissist. And his stepfather, Engelbert Humperdinck impersonator David Rossi, opens a window on the turbulent early years of Rossi's life.
EPISODE 4 From behind bars in Scotland, Rossi goes on the offensive. Unleashing an old and discredited report, he whips up a media storm against his American prosecutor alleging paedophile and cannibal crimes. But to no avail. The extradition moves forward, and Rossi is flown back to Utah to face trial for allegations of sexual offences.
