In Equestria, in Canterlot, in the sewers, there is a secret. A secret civilization. A homeless civilization. Together, they strive to survive without home by providing for each other in the simplest of ways, while others take it to the more extreme measures.

When these extreme measures take place, some problems occur. Ponies are getting sick left and right, someone is aware of them, they're running out of supplies. Sometimes you can't help but ask a question. What is hopeless? Does it mean falling into an abyss of dept and sorrow, or can you scurry around it and make it bright again? Is it hopeless?
