Two months after the defeat of the villainous Ronan the Accuser, the Guardians of the Galaxy are riding high on their newfound notoriety, selling their services as heroes for hire. Unfortunately, when they take a job for a race called the Sovereign in exchange for their captive, Gamora's sister Nebula, the Guardians end up angering their easily-offended clients and get put on the Sovereign's hitlist. Now the Guardians are on the run from the Sovereign and the team's old enemies/allies, the Ravagers, who have mutinied against their boss Yondu Udonta for his softness on his former apprentice Peter, and are now leading the Sovereign's manhunt. And just to complicate matters, Peter's father Ego the Living Planet has resurfaced, along with Mantis, a protégée of his own.
