Equestria is beset by monsters. Terrible threats to ponies lurk in every corner of the nation, and it's up to the Crown to lock them away. Princess Celestia can't respond to every incident, and so she created a special task force - SMILE.

SMILE (Secret Monster Intelligence League of Equestria) exists as an open secret within the highest reaches of power. Currently led by the recently appointed Lieutenant Shining Armor, they find themselves embroiled in a sweet and sour conspiracy that threatens the entire country!

Or at least it's going to ruin a lot of birthday parties.
