## Synopsis

One year after returning to the headquarters inside Riley's mind in the first film, the five emotions that control her-Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear-have all gotten updates to their headquarters' decor, core memory colors, and controller, and all is well at last, with Riley content with her new life in San Francisco, California. She has also grown up a year, and become a teenager, which is a little bit hard on her. Her core emotions ensure that she will be able to cope with becoming a teenager, and that they will be able to help her with expressing her feelings as she is getting older. However, with new age comes new emotions, such as Depression, Anxiety, Charisma, and Love. All of these new emotions claim to be tougher and more emotional than the five core ones, leading to a disagreement between the two parties, and the five emotions getting kicked out of the headquarters. Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear will have to find a way to get back into headquarters and cope with the new emotions in Riley's mind, which is not as easy as it seems.
