What is Unbreakable about?

An ordinary man makes an extraordinary discovery when a train accident leaves his fellow passengers dead — and him unscathed. The answer to this mystery could lie with the mysterious Elijah Price, a man who suffers from a disease that renders his bones as fragile as glass.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

There is a twist, and that is all we are saying.
