Nothing seems to go in Chris's favor. He can't find a stable job, he struggles to keep up with college, his love life is in shambles, and his family has drifted apart. When his girlfriend of two years leaves him, he heads out to the woods near his home to clear his thoughts. Without warning, he is transported to the Everfree Forest, in the exciting and dangerous land of Equestria, an ancient world long forgotten by humans with no way to return home. When all seems lost, he is rescued by the mane six and learns that he was not brought here on accident. A dangerous force is threatening both his old home and his current one, and it is up to him and his new friends to save all life as they know it.
