Simon Reid had already left a trail of broken hearts across the US and UK when he met Laura Buckingham, Nicola Hillary and Jo Ward.
All three were seduced by the same 'Mr Right' and planned to settle down with him. They had no idea they were sharing the same man.

Their confrontation on camera is the climax to this remarkable story of how a conman was defeated by his victims.
First Cut showcases the best in bold, bright and original documentaries by up-and-coming directors.
