OFF THE BLACK is a coming-of-age story of teenager Dave Tibbel (Trevor
Morgan) who copes with his own distant father (Timothy Hutton) by
forming an unlikely friendship with a disheveled, irascible high school
umpire, Ray Cooke (Nick Nolte). 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.
