Twelve years ago, an epic conflict known as the Galactic War swept across the galaxy. Hoping to ditch painful memories by seeking new adventures and profit, the roguish Star-Lord brings together four other misfit heroes for hire to form the Guardians of the Galaxy.

On one of their first missions together, they search for a valuable monster in a restricted area of space filled with war debris. Their carefree approach to exploration culminates with a bet going spectacularly sideways, and they unwittingly unleash a chain of catastrophic events.

Now a mysterious corruption is slowly spreading all over the cosmos. Star-Lord, who left his space pirate life behind to live a slightly more honest one with the Guardians, decides his crew will step up when no one else will.

As they travel to find out who’s behind this corruption threatening to consume the galaxy, the bonds between the Guardians are tested at every turn. They wanted a fresh start and preventing intergalactic annihilation was never part of that plan. Every family has their battles but, luckily, this one fights better than most.

So, it’s down to the Guardians of the Galaxy to save the universe the only way they know how: full-throttle chaos until the last overpowered villain taps out. The stakes couldn’t be higher and the odds aren’t in their favour. What could go wrong?.
