My Boyfriend – The MI5 Hoaxer

19 year-old shopgirl, Leanne McCarthy was the victim of serial con-man Wayne Gouveia. In a meticulously organised deception, Wayne convinced Leanne he was an MI5 agent, luring her into a world of stake-outs, car chases, safe houses and narrow escapes.

But as their relationship got darker, Leanne’s doubts about Wayne grew. As his behavior became more controlling, getting away from him became a matter of survival. In this moving and disturbing film, Leanne revisits the places and memories where this traumatic hoax took place.
