James Ponsoldt's directorial debut stars Nick Nolte as Ray Cooke, a disheveled, grumpy high school baseball umpire who forms an unlikely friendship with troubled teenager Dave Tibbel (Trevor Morgan). As the two grow increasingly dependent on each other, Ray asks Dave to go with him to his 40th high school reunion and pretend to be his son - a benevolent act of deception that ends up revealing unexpected dimensions in each of the two men.
