Applejack wakes up alone on a DesertedIsland. Without her friends and no idea how she got here, the Element of Honesty has to figure out how to survive until she's rescued - or escapes. That would make the situation grim enough, but there's more to the island than meets the eye—and she might not be alone after all.
