One week after his return, Opacare Prose must delve into the streets of Manehattan to stop the corruption that has been brewing within its steel skyscrapers. It seems like an easy job; stop Mayor Grifford Finch, reveal his corrupted ways, and help Manehattan return to its former glory.

But all is not as it seems. Behind Prose's one-stallion war against his former friend, is a shadow of an organization bent on one thing, and one thing only: the complete annihilation of the author and the mayor. As the two ex-friends exchange words and blows, culminating in an explosive confrontation, that organization from behind the scenes makes it move gradually, determined to take Manehattan over without either noticing.

If Opacare Prose has any hope of saving his city, then he must accept the assistance of the mares from Ponyville, as well as forge unlikely alliances with any pony willing to side with him. His goal of stopping Grifford Finch will eventually overlap to other goals, ones that, he will discover, are far more important.

He can't save everything, though... as his war continues, casualties will rise, and somepony important to him could be forever lost...
