Ponyville is known by its residents as a place of safety from other ponies, where crime is infrequent and violence is almost unheard of.

But Twilight's illusions of protection are shattered when she and her friends arrive home one night to find her home ransacked by unknown burglars with unknown motives.

The case is picked up by a local private detective, Phillip Finder. But while he works at cracking the case, Twilight and her friends have another mystery on their hooves: who is Phillip Finder, and what secrets do his past hold?
