Long Path, an earth pony living in Canterlot, and his best friend, a griffon named Free Agent, set out in the company of the alicorn princess, Twilight Sparkle, to visit various places and species to look into what makes them different, and hopefully learn how to get along with them better. Things rarely go to plan though, and along the way, they discover things about themselves, and find love, drama, and laughter. Then Chrysalis changes everything, and not only their lives but also the fate of the whole world might be at stake.
