BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
The movie starts with this dude walking around, looking super stressed out. He comes up to a lighthouse and climbs to the top. He turns around and this dude pushes him off the top. This old guy goes to check on him as another guy begins to walk up.
36 hours earlier, Gethsemane is playing the piano at the school when Griff comes in. He's like I'm going to a wedding and the violinist backed out. Maybe you could come to fill in, be my date, do some dancing. She's in!
The groom is Ty and the bride is Sunny. Griff knows Ty - he was his first friend after the divorce. Of course it's not just the 2 of them - Eamon the ghost is also there.
The hotel has apparently been under renovation for a while and Gethsemane finds a piano to play with Eamon.
The wedding party is all there except for Franky, who shows up late, already intoxicated. Turns out everyone in the wedding party hates this dude. There are accusations of him owing money and he's got a lot of explaining to do.
The next morning, Gethsemane is walking around trying to get past her writer's block when she and Eamon come across the dead body of Frankie. Just then, the old dude that we saw walks through Gethsemane. Turns out he's a ghost! He says he's the last person to see this dude alive. His name is Colin. He says he saw someone run off after Frankie fell - they were wearing a long hooded jacket and were carrying something that looked like a necklace. Colin says they need to figure out who did this or else his son is gonna end up getting blamed for it. Apparently, the lighthouse belongs to the hotel which was owned by Colin and now is owned by his son, Daniel. The lighthouse railing needs to be replaced, so if they don't think it was a murder, he'll be held liable. Of course, Inspector O'Reilly shows up.
Apparently Frankie is a financial advisor but he's got a bunch of shady doings. The inspector is a bit suspicious of the groom. They have security footage of them in an argument the night he died and Frankie trying to give him this chain. He's like I'm gonna go ahead and wait for my lawyer. Apparently Frankie and the groom were on a boat one night when their best friend died and Frankie had his necklace.
Turns out, one of the people at the wedding was in love with that dude and overheard Frankie and the groom arguing. So she tells Frankie to meet her at the lighthouse and down he goes.
She finds Gethsemane in her room looking at that necklace. Luckily they're able to sort it all out and arrest her.
The wedding happens and Gethsemane still doesn't kiss Griff.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
The Guardians of the Galaxy have settled into their new headquarters on Knowhere, but their peace doesn't last long. Adam Warlock, a powerful warrior created by the Sovereign High Priestess, attacks the Guardians in an attempt to get revenge for them stealing from her. He critically injures Rocket before Nebula is able to stab him.
Unfortunately, the Guardians discover that they can't save Rocket because Orgocorp, the organization that experimented on him, implanted a kill switch inside him. With Rocket's life hanging in the balance, the Guardians set out to find the override code that can save him.
As Rocket lies dying, we learn the tragic story of how he became the Rocket we know. As a baby raccoon, Rocket was captured and experimented on by the High Evolutionary, the leader of Orgocorp. The High Evolutionary is obsessed with creating a perfect society by genetically modifying animals into intelligent, humanoid creatures called Humanimals. Rocket proves to be unusually intelligent, and the High Evolutionary uses his ideas to improve future generations of Humanimals. But instead of being proud of Rocket, the High Evolutionary becomes jealous that one of his creations is able to solve problems that he can't. He decides to remove Rocket's brain and destroy the rest of his Humanimal friends. Rocket attacks him in a rage, takes down his henchmen, and escapes in a spaceship, eventually becoming the Rocket we know today.
Back in the present, the Guardians enlist the help of an alternate version of Gamora, who is now a member of the Ravagers. Together, they break into Orgocorp and steal Rocket's file, only to discover that Theel, one of the High Evolutionary's advisors, has taken the override code.
Off to Counter-Earth they go to confront the High Evolutionary and the Guardians quickly discover just how dangerous the High Evolutionary really is because he's planning to destroy the entire planet.
They capture Theel and get the code to shut down Rocket's kill switch, but Rocket's heart stops, sending him into a near-death experience where he sees his Humanimal friends again and they tell him it's not his time. Peter Quill restarts his heart.
There's also this group of kids that the Guardians rescue and before leaving, Rocket also discovers a group of imprisoned animals on the ship. The High Evolutionary confronts him. The Guardians defeat him, but Rocket chooses not to kill him.
The Guardians help the animals and children escape to Knowhere. Quill nearly dies while trying to make it back, but Adam Warlock saves him after Groot had previously rescued Adam from the destruction of the ship.
With the mission over, Peter decides it's time for him to leave the Guardians. He names Rocket the new captain before returning to Earth and reuniting with his grandfather, Jason. Rocket is the new lead and a new team of Guardians is ready to save the world.
