The Christmas of Bananas changed everything for Nikolaj.

Christmas, 1978: Nikolaj's father christens a dinner of banana-infused dishes by quoting Nietzsche's thoughts on religion. Nicolaj might remember this most about this particular holiday, if it weren't the very same Christmas his mother is hit by a truck and dies. Innocence lost, Nicolaj sets out to create his identity—which leads to one of rebellion as he takes an interest in guitar and the punk rock of The Sex Pistols. But what will this mean for the broken family, and how will they once again find each other?

"Just as man is the measure of all things ... each place is the center of the universe. " Welcome to Borunda, the center of a very strange universe, indeed.

Borunda seems like a small town anywhere, absolutely ordinary, a nice place to live. And it is. Or is it? The people here are like people everywhere, and yet something about them is curiously off-kilter. And one fateful night, in a chain of almost unbelievable events, all their lives will intersect, and things will never be the same again.
