Jake's Corner (2008)


Inspired by events surrounding the tragic death of former Chicago Cub All-Star 3rd baseman Ron Santo’s parents.

Ex-football star Johnny Dunn (Richard Tyson) walked away from the game early in his career to live a relatively secluded life far from the spotlight in a small, desert town he owns called Jake’s Corner. Jake’s Corner is a rest stop for travelers crossing the Arizona desert, but for the people who live there (Diane Ladd, B.J. Thomas, and others), it’s a rest stop for life.

Johnny’s quiet life is altered dramatically when his young nephew Spence is unexpectedly dropped at his doorstep. The boy brings a childlike innocence to this town of adults who, in turn, get to share their homegrown wisdom with him.
