The Kingdom of Woe has played host to a great number of guests both permanent and temporary; from Cleopatra, Attila the Hun, and Judas Iscariot to Adam, Orpheus, Heracles, and countless more. Not even angels, who soar like eagles in God's Heaven, are exempt from damnation to the Black Pit. Lucifer--once the most beautiful of all the Lord's creations--stands as an object lesson of this fact, alongside others of his kind. Now Hell receives a new visitor, one that is neither human nor angel.

Sweetie Belle; a young unicorn filly from the idyllic town of Ponyville, finds herself an unwitting prisoner of Hell, with no memory or ideas to explain how she got there. It would seem all hope is lost, but fortunately she receives aid from the poet Virgil, who explains to her that all the answers she seeks rest at the bottom of Hell, within Lucifer's frozen prison. Now she must make a harrowing journey through the nine Circles of Hell, along the way circumventing dangerous obstacles and making strange acquaintances in search of a way out of this miserable pit and back home to Equestria.

That is, if such a way exists...
