Premise
The fiction is primarily set in Cantabria. 8 years after the disappearance of a girl (Paula), a teenager claiming to be her comes into action. The family welcomes her. But suspicions about the true identity behind the 17-year-old woman do not end there as her narrative is not exactly credible and she may be an imposter.{{Cite web|url=https://www.fotogramas.es/series-tv-noticias/a12738041/arranca-el-rodaje-de-la-verdad-nueva-serie-de-telecinco-de-los-creadores-de-el-principe/|website=Fotogramas|title=Arranca el rodaje de 'La Verdad', nueva serie de Telecinco de los creadores de 'El Príncipe'|first=Álvaro|last=Onieva|date=14 December 2015|access-date=1 November 2021|language=es}}
