Teaming up with local kids Lupita and Mateo-plus their brilliant mother, Dr. Alejandra Cervantes, and her curandero husband, Israel-can the Unicorn Rescue Society save the region's animals and help bring a divided community together once more? And what is that spiny, bloodsucking, adorable little creature?
