What would you do for your freedom?

Fifteen prestigious ponies with incredible talents are accepted into Hope's Peak Academy in Canterlot. However, their lives are plunged into utter despair when they are forced to pull off the perfect murder to be set free - murder another pony without being identified as the culprit. However, this is not as easy as it sounds. Some ponies would do anything for their freedom. Lyra along with fourteen other super-talented ponies are about to find that out.

Can they survive the class trial? Or will they fall to despair?
