It's 1994: a 13-year-old boy disappears from his home in San Antonio, Texas. Three and a half years later, he is found alive, thousands of miles away, in Spain. Disoriented and quivering with fear, he divulges his shocking story of kidnap and torture. His family is overjoyed to bring him home. But all is not what it seems. Sure, he has the same tattoos, but he looks decidedly different, and he now speaks with a strange accent. Why doesn't the family seem to notice these glaring inconsistencies? It's only when an investigator starts asking questions that this astounding true story takes an even stranger turn.

Directed by Bart Layton
Release Date - July 13, 2012

Looks interesting. The title is a major spoiler though.
He held on. The dolphin and all the rest of its pod turned and swam out to sea, and still he held on. This is it, he thought. Then he remembered that they were air-breathers too. It was going to be all right.

People need to be seeing this. I was a little worried about the title and trailer seeming pretty spoilerful, but it's not really an issue. But still, I went in knowing as little as possible. The story is very compelling and left me with more questions than answers. It reminds me of how I felt after seeing Catfish. I have a feeling I'll be thinking about this one for awhile.

MILD SPOILERS
I expected there to be more of a build-up to the reveal of the found child being an imposter, but they give that away in the opening minutes. There ends up being a lot more to the story. When they bring him home, this really takes off.

ya don't worry about the trailer, what you learn from it is revealed off the bat.
