This is the story of an intrepid teddy bear who, like his namesake Captain James T. Kirk, boldly goes where no teddy bear has gone before - to the North Atlantic Garbage Patch (or NAG Patch for short) - "a mysterious place that holds a dark secret of ours". The story begins with James on a holiday to Cornwall with his beloved owner Charlie and her parents, until a terrible mishap befalls him and he ends up floating out to sea on a piece of driftwood (which he names Logsworth). After a series of encounters with various marine animals - including jellyfish, a bait ball of fish being chased by dolphins, and a humpback whale - and surviving a hurricane, James finds himself at the NAG Patch itself: "He realised that his paws were completely covered in tiny pieces of plastic. In alarm, he sieved his paws through the ocean, over and over again, but the results were the same. […] He was completely surrounded by plastic."
