Cerebral Offer

Harry Gnostopolos, a one-time filmmaker (literally, one time -- he wrote and directed a critically-acclaimed biopic of Jack Kerouac and then "retired") who, with his long-term girlfriend Dana, owns an small independent movie theater in the Outer Richmond District of San Francisco, is at a crossroads. The theater is in serious financial trouble and Dana has met someone new and wants out of the relationship, the theater business, and the city itself. And Harry has recently developed gephyrophobia, a fear of bridges -- not a good situation for someone in San Francisco. Into this turmoil comes Harry's old friend Jackson Halifax, a successful novelist, and the mysterious, seductive Nadine, with whom Harry shares an immediate, visceral (sort of a mutual "lust at first sight") connection. Jackson and Nadine offer Harry a solution to all of his problems. They are both part of a subversive crew planning a heist that, if they pull it off, could rewrite a major part of U.S. history.
