Sinestro, a former Green Lantern now leading the Yellow Lantern Corps, is revealed to be orchestrating the "War of Light." His goal is to unite the emotional spectrum under his control, imposing his vision of order on the universe.

As they confront different Lantern Corps, such as the rage-fueled Red Lanterns and the hopeful Blue Lanterns, they must find a way to unite these often opposing factions against Sinestro’s growing influence. The climax unfolds in a massive space battle where Hal, John, and other Lanterns confront Sinestro.
