Jesse, a once naive and youthful soul enthralled by the oceans embrace, endured a harrowing and traumatic trial when a piece of marine debris washed upon shore and trampled his juice box while he was taking a rest break during the fabled XXL boogie board session of his kindergarten year at Kalama Beach park.  Since then the wrath of marine debris in Hawaii has relentlessly haunted his nightmares.  His trepidation built to a breaking point where it drove him to flee to California to seek asylum, and study engineering, in order to distance himself from this ferocious marine menace that mercilessly rained pain on his mind, body and soul.  Years later while lost in the forested woodlands, at the brink of starvation and parched to the point of perishing, he was visited by a magical kagami ulua that revealed a prophecy that he must face his darkest and deepest fears and quench his vendetta against all debris-kind for their transgressions of threatening marine ecosystems around the pae ‘āina and spilling his cherished juice box.  With the trade winds of destiny at his back he sails forth to join an esteemed cohort of debris decimating disciples to train in sacred ancient arts in hopes that he and his comrades may fulfill the quest of the hallowed prophecy and live to tell the tail.
