Octavia Melody is dead, having taken her own life for reasons unknown. Vinyl Scratch is utterly crushed, and her life has been put on hold while she mourns. She lives her life in a haze, with Octavia having become nothing more than a hallucination that only she can see and speak with. It's been a month, and Vinyl hasn't even read Octavia's suicide note.

Yet, when she does, strange wording begins to make Vinyl think, is Octavia's suicide really a suicide, or something more entirely? This hurtles the mare onto a quest with which nothing is as simple as it seems, and no price is too high to discover the truth.

What happened to Octavia Melody?
