When Sweetie Belle got the chance to sing at The Haberdashery, the legendary nightclub, she jumped at the chance. It would be a chance to help support her ailing sister, a chance to be what she always wanted, one of Equestria's great singers. It was the first step on what she hoped would be a glorious path to stardom.

That path took a wrong turn, and now she's over her head in a situation nopony expected. She could take the advice of LeBlanc, the pony without a past, and just let things go, but something is telling her that there's more to this situation than meets the eye. Now she'll be forced to choose where to give her support. To the powerful, but cruel ruler of Equestria, Maestro, and his intimidating bodyguard Scootaloo, or to the charismatic but fanatical revolutionary, Redblood, and his beautiful assistant, Applebloom. She's being forced to answer questions she was never prepared for.

Where do her loyalties lie? How much is freedom worth? Perhaps, though, the most important is... Why does everypony seem so familiar?
