Veronica, an undiscovered artist who works as an office manager in New York City, attends a party with her best friend Barbara, a middle-aged administrative assistant, for what turns out to be an unsuccessful blind date. However, at the party she meets Bernie, a wealthy roamer and real estate investor. Despite his slightly reclusive existence, she falls for his eccentric charm. Soon, at the chagrin of Barbara, Veronica leaves her job to move in Bernie in his new loft in San Francisco within months of their first date.
