Modern day. Suburban Oklahoma

Sam Alexander was a rebellious teen, annoyed with his poor background, being brought up with a factory worker for a mother and a plumber for a father. Jesse, his dad, was the village drunk, he was always drinking to get through his struggles. he would always tell Sam and his younger sister stories of his days as a Nova, a intergalactic 'police officer'. As Sam grew up he realised who his father was, and how his stories were simply ramblings of a broken man.

In the present, Sam opens the door for his dad, wraps his arm around his dad and walks him to the garage, where he sleeps after a night of drinking. In there was a bed, random drawings of space, plumbing tools and a locked chest. Sam didn't know what was in there.

When skating to school he was stopped by a few of his schoolmates, including Jackson, the son of the local bar owner. He claimed his father smashed an expensive statue in his bar and he needed Sam to pay for it. Now. Sam had no choice but to run, in which a foot chase ensued. He was caught up by Jackson and his friends, when Sam through a punch at Jackson. They proceeded to fight briefly before Sam was knocked down. Cuts to a flashback montage of the many stories Jesse told his son as a kid. He wakes up, black eye and a broken rib. He gets out his phone and sees a picture of his mum and dad. Cut to flashback of Sam arguing with his mother over his father's state. She tells Sam how he wasn't always like this, and that he sacrificed a lot to raise a family. He slams the door and we return to the present. He throws his phone into the bushes and leaves for home, missing school.

He returns home to his dad's garage, slams open the door, shouting at him for what he had done. His Dad wasn't there. Sam's Mum saw his black eye and asked what happened, only to realise her husband wasn't there. He often went out without warning, but they both knew something different about this one. The chest was unlocked and empty.

Sam ran into the night, checking all the bars in town. He was still mad at his Dad. he couldn't find him anywhere. he checked the last place he could think of, an old cabin in the woods, a place his uncle lived at. Sam was crossing a rope-bridge over a river to get their when it snapped and he fell a large distance down to the river below.

He awoke a few weeks later in a hospital bed. Sam had no memory of what happened to him. He lay awake in the hospital bed when his cracked phone began to ring beside him. Someone must have found it in the bushes. He picked up. "Hello?" - - "Hi. Sam. Meet me in the garden in five. I'm a friend of your father." the phone hung up. Dazed and confused, Sam changed into his clothes and made his way slowly outside. In the Hospital's garden one of the trees moved and a Raccoon jumped down from it's 'shoulder'. "Hi, I am rocket. This Groot. Your father saved us from a little trouble once, so we owe him in return." - - Sam stood in disbelief. "You're not real. you. you're just an image of these painkillers. HELP!" He began shouting frantically. Groot and Rocket panic, when Groot picks him up and hangs him upside-down. Rocket approaches an upside-down Sam. "I am the realest there it. If you wan't your father back you better realise that real quick."

Sam followed Rocket and Groot into the forest. They explained that the stories his father told him were true, that he really was part of the Nova. They explained were bounty hunters, but ultimately just 'good people trying to make a little cash' so Jesse Alexander let them free after capturing them, but they would be in his debt. This was the debt, to deliver something to Sam. They revealed a helmet, something that had been stored in the chest all these years. They had broken it out upon hearing Jesse's distress signal. They gave it to him and told him he'd work it out. They entered their ship in the forest and quickly flew off into space while he was distracted by the helmet. Annoyed, he had more questions than answers, so he kicked the helmet across the ground. It lit up blue all-of-a-sudden. Sam had thought this was all a bad dream, but he felt a feeling of power coming from the discarded helmet. He reluctantly put on the helmet, feeling a whoosh of power as a suit materialised over his body. He began to float above the ground.
