Claire Ward is in dire need of a vacation, but, instead, she is confronted with what is right and what is wrong, she finds herself the quarry of relentless bounty hunters after she accidentally steals an orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain. To evade Ronan, Ward is forced into an uneasy truce: gun-toting Rocket Raccoon, treelike-humanoid Groot, enigmatic Gamora, vengeance-driven Drax the Destroyer, and Peter freaking Quill. But when she discovers the orb's true power and the cosmic threat it poses, Ward must rally the ragtag group to save the universe.
