A homeless dying veteran, trying to find a Unicorn he believes lives in the mountains above Los Angeles, convinces a Latina immigrant to join his quest, provoking a tragic-comic chase as they are followed by the Border Patrol and her Lowrider cousins.
Separated from his family and lost in the mountains, a small boy befriends a wolf, finds gold, fights off thieves, and survives a blizzard to get back to the warmth of his home.
