Off the Black
Two-Time Oscar-Nominee Nick Nolte stars as Ray Cooke, a disheveled, grumpy high school umpire who forms an unlikely friendship with a troubled teenager, Dave Tibbel (Morgan), after he catches him vandalizing his home. A straightforward exchange - if Dave repairs the damage, Ray won't call the cops - becomes an ever increasingly personal relationship and enables Dave to cope with his own distant father (Oscar-Nominee Timothy Hutton). As they grow more dependent on each other, Ray asks Dave to go to his 40th high school reunion and pretend to be his son, a benevolent act of deception that winds up opening unexpected dimensions in the two men.
