Description - Imposter by Gary Blackwood

At 14 years old, Ryan Waite is not a bad actor -- in fact he's quite a good one. Good enough to have had several years' experience on various stages of Toronto, where he lives with his mother. When Ryan messes up an audition for a part in Les Mis, he makes contact with a bulky character named Burton who launches the boy into the most challenging role of his lifetime. Burton turns out to be a private investigator that's out to make some big money through arranging for Ryan to impersonate a boy who is the long-lost son of a millionaire desperate to re-establish the relationship with his son before he dies. Suddenly Ryan finds himself performing a part considerably beyond his depth, having to improvise emotions and understandings and make up complicated lies just in order to stay ahead of the game.
