The movie opens on the broken and shattered planet of Morag as Adam Warlock gets off his ship and meets someone in the darkness. We see them talk for a minute until Adam starts choking the man and nearly kills him. He gets back on his ship and opens his hand to reveal a purple stone. Just then a huge crocodile-like creature comes up from out of the ground and starts chasing Adam's ship. He manages to escape and head to Knowhere to meet up with the new Guardians team after people like Rocket, Mantis, and Drax left to work with Sam Alexander's Nova. This new team includes members like Star Lord, Gamora, Nebula, Groot, Captain Mar-Vell, Richard Ryder's Nova, Adam himself, and Thane who is now going by Star-Lad. Throughout the movie the team travels to different places while Adam searches for answers to the stone in his head and the stone he has from Morag. The movie ends with Adam running into Thanos who tells him that the stones he's looking for will not help him and that he should turn back. Thanos knocks him down and takes the purple stone.
