So Joe left a bad relationship with his young child and he's been moving around ever since to keep away from his ex. But he never wanted to tell his kid the unpleasant truth, so instead, he tells them that their other dad is a sailor, and arranges matters so that when the kid writes letters to Dad #2, they go to a post office box, and Joe can get them and write responses 'from' the kid's other parent.
This works great up until the boat Other Dad is supposed to be on is scheduled to show up in their new town, and he has to hire somebody to pretend to be his kid's dad. (Enter Nicky, obviously.)
I really, really want this with Joe as the parent, but I'd honestly be happy to get my hands on the reverse too (it would probably be greedy to ask for one of each, huh?) - all I ask is that either way, the ex isn't Merrick or Keane - just a run-of-the-mill bastard will do fine.
+for Andy as Marie ++if Nicky's real relationship to Andy is the same as the Stranger's to Marie in the movie +++if you're keeping Frankie's grandma's role, I'm always a sucker for family OCs for Joe, but also, it could be Lykon somehow maybe?
