After a fateful near-miss, an assassin battles his employers and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn't personal.

In 2071, 49 years after a catastrophic event on Earth, humanity has settled on other planets and moons in the solar system and a team of bounty hunters travel together aboard the spaceship "Bebop." When a terrorist explosion releases a deadly virus into the general population, it is up the bounty-hunting team to bring the culprit to justice.

Nine years after the events of Veronica Mars, former teenage sleuth Veronica Mars has left the fictional town of Neptune, California, and moved to New York City, where she is in a relationship with Stosh "Piz" Piznarski and has a job offer from the prestigious law firm Truman-Mann and Associates. She is contacted by her ex-boyfriend Logan Echolls, now a Lieutenant in the United States Navy, who has been accused of murdering his girlfriend Carrie Bishop, a fellow Neptune High student who became a self-destructive pop star under the stage name "Bonnie DeVille". He is being bombarded for offers of representation from lawyers, and Veronica agrees to return to Neptune and help Logan find one who will best represent him. She reunites with her father Keith Mars, Neptune's former sheriff-turned-private investigator, who shows her how corruption and classism are rife under Sheriff Dan Lamb.
