'The unexplained disappearance of a cat; a misunderstanding involving the daughter of his foster parents; an encounter with a succubus-like figure under a bridge in Alice Springs; an incident with a coconut; a tragic fire; and the unwitting participation in a robbery.

This is the tragi-comic tale of a man whose inner world sets him at odds with the world around him.' (Publication summary)
