Lea couldn't even keep a job for one day," Caroline snickered. "I bet she couldn't even make one hundred dollars in one week," she taunted as a wicked grin spread across her face.   "Is that a bet?" I inquired, ready to take on her challenge.  "Oh, you bet it is," she sneered.  "Fine, I except your challenge." I was not going to give my sister the satisfaction of winning. If anything, I was going to win and laugh at her face. I'll show her how responsible I am, I can get a job and make a hundred dollars no problem. Ok, maybe not, but I'm not giving up.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
