Summary
A Coca-Cola bottle tossed from a passing plane lands in the Kalahari Desert, where a Bushman named Xi and his tribe initially see it as a gift from the gods before it begins causing jealousy and conflict. Xi sets out on a journey to the edge of the world to throw the troublesome object away, his path crossing with a clumsy biologist, a new village schoolteacher, and a band of bumbling guerrillas.
