Where does the Jessica Jones Season 2 story begin?

The second season of Jessica Jones picks up after The Defenders incident at Midland Circle left Daredevil's status unknown. Jessica Jones is recovering from Kilgrave's mind control and grappling with having to snap his neck with her bare hands in the Jessica Jones Season 1 finale episode. The Season 2 trailers show Jessica still drinks to numb the pain of losing her entire family as a child (and from being tortured by Kilgrave as a young adult.) Luke Cage played a huge role in Jessica Jones Season 1, but don't expect him to be around much in Season 2. He's in Harlem "getting coffee" with Claire Temple.

What are Jessica Jones' super powers?

Jessica Jones has superhuman strength and durability. In the comic books she could fly, but in the Netflix series she can only jump really high and far. It's still unclear how Jessica Jones got her powers. She thinks they were caused by the car accident that killed her parents since they crashed into a truck full of strange chemicals, but her sister Trish is not convinced. A mysterious organization called IGH paid all of Jessica's medical bills after her family died, but no one knows why. Season 2 will have some answers.
