Elliot and Uchenna are thrust into a new adventure when Professor Fauna reports a chilling incident at the Texas-Mexico border: a cow found drained of blood. With tensions high, they join local kids Lupita and Mateo, and their family, to uncover the truth behind the legendary chupacabras. Can the Unicorn Rescue Society save the animals and mend a divided community? As they delve deeper, they must confront the mystery of the spiny, bloodsucking creature. Will they succeed, or will the mythical menace prove too elusive? Embark on this thrilling journey to find out.
