Tarnation Plot Synopsis:

When Oscar is fired, and her boyfriend walks out (taking the cat), she heads to a remote cabin in the woods outside a ghost town called TARNATION. Here she plans to reflect on her life choices. Unfortunately for Oscar the woods are home to a DEMON UNICORN, whose satanic master seeks Oscar's blood to complete a ritual that will raise SATAN HIMSELF from Hell.
