Netflix's new true-crime documentary Con Man follows a story that initially feels like a dream: A 45-year-old man is contacted out of the blue by his biological mother, and they share an instant bond. However, renowned British pastry chef Graham Hornigold's miraculous reunion slowly turned into a nightmare, with his mother, known only as Dionne, leaving him on the hook for £300,000 ($388,000) in debt from five-star hotels, pricey dinners, and expensive cars.
The film from Nick Green unfolds this heartbreaking con of familial love turned misery, with Hornigold, his loved ones, and Dionne's other victims telling their stories. With the doc landing on Netflix on March 25, here's what to know about Graham Hornigold and where the chef is following the events of Con Mum.
