Rainbow Dash died many years ago in an accident. Her daughter, Spectra, never truly knew her, and goes through every day in guilt. She has an even greater obstacle looming, however, because she starts flight school soon. Spectra will have to face her greatest fear: filling her mother's vacancy as the hero of her town with her friend Angelwing at her side. Things start to seem odd the more and more she questions her mother, and she soon realizes she may have bit off more than she can chew.
