When young Timothy (CJ Adams) shows up on their doorstep one stormy night, Cindy and Jim--and their small town of Stanleyville--learn that sometimes the unexpected can bring some of life's greatest gifts.

Former driver for Jennifer Lopez, Hakob Manoukian was trying to extort her for 2.8 million dollars before she decided to take him to court. According to Lopez’ camp, Manoukian and JLO’s manager Benny Medina had a falling out last summer over a security team that Medina wanted to hire against Manoukian’s recommendation.
