Overview
Brian Duffy is a disillusioned "yuppie" living in the opulent 80s. He is searching for his own purpose in life. After choosing to leave his family, he spends a summer on the coast of Half Moon Bay. He casts off his middle class life to begin a hobby of breaking into houses. He combines his love of jogging with a knack for spotting unoccupied homes all over San Mateo County.
Description
Brian Duffy, having recently decided it is time for him to end his marriage and move on, has taken an apartment in Half Moon Bay. He has developed a short-term plan to walk out on his provincial life and find himself. Brian has the summer vacation, from his teaching position at a local high school, to discover who he truly is. In his disdain for his generation and all its superficial belongings he turns to home burglary to subsidize his income. It is his relationship with his new acquaintances who guide his moral compass. When he finds the door closing on his past family life, is when he throws caution to the wind to pursue a new relationship.
