Everyone knows of the iron in our blood, of the mercury and calcium in our bodies. Now, though, we have Exosis.

No one really knew where the disease came from or how it even started. Some say it started from rats, like the plague. Others think it was from birds or even livestock. Scientists have tried to claim that it was simply a gene in our bodies that mutated, and for a while, that's how it was treated. At least, that's how it was treated after the initial paranoia. For several months after it was discovered, people acted as though the end of the world was upon us. It's not like they could have done anything, though. By the time it was discovered, everyone had it.

5 years after it's discovery, Exosis... mutated? At first, no one noticed anything different, but then the cysts showed up. You see, by the time the cysts came, it was too late. Organ failure followed more quickly than anyone could have anticipated. Some people have yet to develop the cysts, but with rumors of the dead walking again beginning to spread, it seems survival isn't going to be... easy.

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!
