Overview
Death By Unicorn is a comical look at the guilt-ridden breakdown of a former playboy and the strange lengths he will go for a return to sanity. However, he finds that sanity and happiness are sometimes exclusive and the only way to have both is to be who you truly are, regardless of the sacrifices and changes you may have to make.
Description
John grew up admiring the code of chivalry and believing in romantic tales. As life hurtled toward the realism of adulthood, his belief system waned and he became someone his former self would not recognize. Now in his thirties and tiring of the social life he had once enjoyed, John's sins with women and his realization that it is the antithesis of his original character have created a guilt-ridden identity crisis. After the psychological breakdown has manifested in a few physical episodes, he consults an eccentric psychiatrist who warns John of how dangerous his mental state has become. An even more desperate John runs into a mysterious stranger who is able to convince him that an artifact related to his boyhood hero King Arthur not only exists but may hold the key to his salvation. John enlists the help of his not-so-cooperative friends and after drunken street fights, trying to relate to mouthy teenagers, and delving deep into the secret underworld of elderly debauchery, they find themselves crossing the ocean to search for something which may have been inside John all along...
