dealing patiently with Jimmy's misbehavior, telling Rory

moves in next door. John Devlin offers Rhiann beer and
sympathy. He gives Jimmy a job.Jimmy complicates things
further by looking up his birth father's family, from whom
Rhiann has been estranged for many years. And by falling
in love with a mysterious girl.When Sinter tries to
discredit John, then beat him to death, Rhiann comes to
John's rescue. But she discovers her perfect neighbor

ability.
