Poor Max... Life hates him. Fate is his personal nemesis. His guardian angel is a magna cum laude graduate of the Marquis de Sade School Of Nurturing. Nothing he does ever seems to turn out right. He's a spectacular success at dismal failure.
So when life takes a ninety degree turn from reality as he's on the Skyline Trail trying to hike his way through his problems - or at least put them behind him for a time - Max figures, correctly, that fate is just messing with him again.
He is caught by a real life unicorn. Surprisingly, Max is unsurprised. He's either gone insane or his life has, and he's betting on the latter. Unfortunately, the trajectory of his life goes from god-awful to even worse when he discovers he's got to help the very force that's been behind his unbroken string of life-long bad luck.
And there's seemingly nothing he can do about it except hope a comely Wizard, a trio of psychotic Muses and a modern-day school of magic can come up with a solution to his equine dilemma.
