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.
