Plot summary

More than anything in the world, the loving couple of Cindy and Jim Green want to have a child. Distraught, after finding out that they are unable to conceive, Cindy and Jim spend an entire evening writing down all the desirable traits and qualities they want in their child, and without a second thought, they decide to bury their wishes in the garden. Then, on a stormy night, the most unexpected thing happens, and much to Jim and Cindy's surprise, a mud-covered boy appears in their kitchen out of thin air: his name is Timothy, and he claims to be their ten-year-old son. Could Timothy be, indeed, the embodiment of Cindy and Jim's fervent desires? Do fascinating things happen just when you least expect it?—Nick Riganas
