Kirk pursues the stolen ship Aurora and just as it explodes he beams aboard the survivors - rebellious idealists in search of the fabled planet Eden. Their leader, Dr. Sevrin, suffers from a deadly disease which has rendered him insane. After gaining Kirk's trust, Sevrin and his followers take control of the Enterprise. Their goal: Eden. Their means: Any, including the death of Kirk and his crew, if necessary!
