Plot Summary

Eleanor, well-known romance writer, enlists the ghost-writing talents of her sister Abigail on her latest titillating venture. Midway through a work session Eleanor receives a call from her editor informing her of a major change in direction at the publishing house. The two sisters embark on a hilarious rewrite session that takes them from the cold fog of San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf to the dark underbelly of the city’s infamous leather bars, with long-held family secrets unearthed in the process. A great comic vehicle for two mature actresses.
