Octavia has been working for eight years in a calm club in the upper parts of Canterlot, enduring the ever irritating harassment of the nobles. One day she is assaulted by one of the higher nobles, but is rescued by her former collegue Master Exploder. Together they decide to flee the White City in the hopes of making a name for herself in the Big Apple

Vinyl Scratch has been the DJ of a popular nightclub in Canterlot, but when she finds out that she's going to be replaced by a trendier and far cheaper guy with absolutely no experience, she decides to pull one last trick up her sleeve to write her name in the Hall of DJs before storming off. Frustrated at the loss of her job she is then forced to flee a noble offensive, being rescued by a masked vigilante. In panic she grabs the first train out of the city and headed for Manehattan, where the top DJs live.

They soon meet on the morning train to The Big Apple, each hoping to start their new lives. But the lives they dreamed of are far from what they can get. There are people everywhere who are offering them jobs, some are legit others... far less safe.
