There exists an hour each day that goes inexperienced by everypony. An hour where both the Sun, and Moon are silent; Where dangerous living shadows thrive. Thankfully most ponies sleep through this "Midnight Hour", protected by a coffin, and blissfully unaware that such a time even exists. However when Twilight Sparkle receives an odd magical book, she finds herself experiencing this lost hour in time night after night.

It's Twilight, and her friend who takes it upon themselves to save them.

The Doctoress avoids apples from an aspiring Applebuck. And in a library across town, six stallions join their forces as they try to decipher the appearance of filly look-alikes of themselves around Ponyville!
