It's simple, really.
Just follow the rules. And you'll get rewarded.
And if you don't follow them? That's it buddy, you're out.

Callisto Black lives in a perfect world. Although everyone is provided for on a basic level, those who stick to the rules and those who are promising to the Government get a higher income and more privileges. Callisto is lucky, her father is a Loyalist- a highly respected Government officer- and so she already has an elevated status. Everyone is happy with the society. Except the Outcasts. Since 2200, the Government has been collecting kids that were different. That made mistakes. That were labeled a danger to their perfect society and deposited on the other side of the wall. Now, there's a whole community of Outcasts there. The Government claims that they're generous and have allowed the Outcasts to flourish instead of killing them off. Every year, there's checks throughout Haven City to root out any anomalies and those who are deemed different are taken away and no one ever sees them again. But those who follow the rules and contribute to the Government have nothing to worry about, like Callisto. She's automatically considered a Favored taken the status of her father and she's very Talented. So she has nothing to worry about-does she?

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!
