Plot summary
Elliot Kintner is a lawyer driving through the Canadian Rockies with Ridley, his teenage daughter, toward a weekend at the estate of Odell Leopold, the boss he works for. Odell shares the house with Belinda, his wife, and with Shepard, their grown son. On the road the car strikes a unicorn. Ridley touches the horn and sees strange visions; Elliot ends them by hitting the animal with a tire iron, and blood splashes over them both. They arrive with the body hidden in the car. Ridley finds her acne cleared, Elliot that his vision is sharper and his allergies gone. When the family discovers the unicorn alive, their assistant Shaw shoots it, and Odell, told what the creature can do, proposes experiments.
