A young woman invites a stranger for a one-night stand. But a pierced condom turns this fleeting encounter into an unpredictable night where desire and horror violently intertwine.

Narrator Jeffy, now an adult, recounts his youthful adventures in the mid-1980s with humour and nostalgia. A typically awkward, insecure 12-year-old, Jeffy wants the same thing as millions of other young people his age: to be accepted and to find his place in the “nuclear catastrophe” phase of life called adolescence. ​
