Alpha Librae, called Zubenelgenubi, is a binary star divisible in binoculars, 77 light-years from Earth. The primary is a blue-white star of magnitude 2.7 and the secondary is a white star of magnitude 5.2. Its traditional name means "the southern claw".

Plot
In December 2001, Ethan Miller loses both his parents in a car accident. To cheer him up, his best friends, Isaac Greenberg and Chris Roberts, start a tradition to spend every Christmas Eve together bar hopping around New York City. In 2008, the friends meet some girls who came from a party called the Nutcracker Ball, describing it as a wild and crazy party to which guests must acquire special invitations. Over the following years, the trio unsuccessfully search for the party's location, yet it remains elusive. In 2015, the three friends decide to end the tradition. However, Chris, now a famous football player, and Isaac, a soon-to-be father with his wife Betsy, privately worry that Ethan, who is a struggling musician working at a hotel and has also recently broken up with his girlfriend Diana, might not be ready for the tradition to end as it remains an important priority to him.
