Deep in the shadows of Equestrian society lurks a threat, unknown and unseen by even the most attentive of ponies. An organization, using Equestria's own flourishing medical knowledge to bring ponykind to its knees. Though they lurk in the shadows, the time approaches for them to strike...

Doctor Direct Styles has just completed his Residency at Ponyville Medical. An amateur surgeon at best, he quickly becomes Equestria's only hope against a pony-made disease. He will have to rise to the challenge of curing a seemingly unstoppable pathogen, or ponykind will be doomed.
