Loosely based on the author's own life, Nada is the story of an orphaned young woman who leaves her small town to attend university in war-ravaged Barcelona.

A self-centered college student has one thing on his mind, get home for Christmas. Just days before his deadline he wakes up in the California desert, stranded and penniless, wearing a Santa suit and a white beard glued to his face! The closer Jake gets to home, the closer he gets to the true meaning of Christmas and family in this nonstop comedy of errors.
