Every morning, George Jackson, a bank-clerk from Peckham, believes that two million pounds will miraculously arrive in the post and when it doesn't he is miserable. Harry, George's son, sends a message to a mysterious website - unicornhelp@elysianfields.com, requesting happiness for his dad. He summons the help of a troublesome magical Unicorn, who wishes to be useful not just beautiful, and his keeper, Stanley. However, George is only interested in wealth and the Unicorn has to teach him some valuable lessons before peace is restored to the Jackson house.
