Tired of her life as a natural shut-in and aimlessly wandering the contours of a black-and-white existence, Fluttershy has been hiding a secret from her friends for many long years: She is clinically depressed. Medicated for most of her waking life and unable to cope with the direction her life has been taking, she swallows far too many pills and finds herself falling asleep for the last time in Equestria.

However, this is not the end for her. Now she must find her way home through trials that no pony should ever have to go through--even if it means facing herself.
