Plots(1)
Family Court judge, Natalie Britain (Gloria Reuben) searches for the truth and makes life-altering decisions affecting hundreds of children and their families. But Natalie has her own secret - a child that the then unmarried Natalie thought she had given up for adoption. Instead, Little John (Robert Bailey Jr.) was lovingly raised on a Texas farm by Natalie's father, John (Ving Rhames). With failing health, John tries to bring his estranged daughter and grandson together. (official distributor synopsis)
