Full Synopsis:

 

Unicorn is a romantic comedy with adult themes and will push boundaries as far as what people have seen in romantic sex comedies. It is a film about a couple who host an evening with a 3rd.  The unconventional introduction of a 3rd party in the bedroom of most couples is often referred to as the Unicorn.  This moniker reflects the difficulty most couples experience in finding a guest star that they both find attractive and interesting enough to bring home with them.

 

Unicorn is a light hearted sexy comedy about the awkwardness and the excitement that comes from taking risks, exploring and pushing the limits of trust in yourself and your partner.  It does take a dramatic turn in the third act and will carry emotional weight when Whitney discovers the real reason that Linda wanted her for her husband when Linda reveals her terminal illness and inability to carry children.
