Ginger is a spirited cat with a big personality and a strong sense of loyalty, who lives contentedly in the Cornish seaside town of Mevagissey. He is cared for by Jim and Tom, the warm-hearted owners of the local fish-and-chip shop and pub.
His comfortable world is suddenly upended when he is accidentally carried away, fast asleep in a barrel, by a passing brewery lorry. He finds himself in a distant town, far from everything he knows.
Determined to return home, the cat sets out on a journey that tests his courage and resourcefulness. Along the way, he encounters both kindness and danger, making friends and facing challenges in equal measure.
Will he be able to get back to his fish-and-chip shop home and be reunited with Jim and Tom?
