It has been a full year since the day that an unknown spacecraft crash landed onto Equestria. Inside the craft were over five thousand humans, many still in cryogenic sleep. During the year, the humans have adapted to life on Equestria, and have become full citizens of the kingdom of Canterlot. The humans have slowly been intergrated into Equestrian society by the process of the HomeStay program. One such indivildual has been assigned to a certain purple unicorn, and he brings with him a troubled past.
