"You think I'll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I'll swallow you whole."

Saviour Complex meets Depression Personified.
 
Simply put, Holland is an asshole. 

With the exception of his childhood best friend (god bless their soul), he talks to no one else his age unless it's absolutely necessary. This is nobody's fault but his, though, as he pushes everyone away and is extremely rude and standoffish anytime someone tries to befriend him. As a result, nobody likes him very much (surprise surprise), and they all avoid interacting with him. 

During one of his nightly breakdowns, he was considering ending his life when he decided to get help and signed up for a buddy program online- a program where you can confide anonymously in a stranger and seek professional help if needed. He's almost positive it's a waste of time, but he wants a change, so he tries it out, not knowing he'd be stuck with his buddy for a month. 

Unfortunately for him, his buddy is the type of person he hates most and is determined to save him.

Even though Holland deeply regrets signing up with every fibre of his body, he can't help but think that maybe this was what he needed.

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!
