Andiron Garley Holten and Keith Evan Whiteraven have both lived in Teague, Texas their entire lives; in a neighborhood of mansions and people who live to be perfect, or at least pretend to be. Unfortunately for the two seventeen year olds, neither of them are perfect, and neither can ever live up to the standards set by those around them. So they spend their free time plotting against those they hate most, the people who take joy in hurting others in any way. They break into their houses, destroy their most precious and valuable items, and leave a little note explaining why, along with a single white feather. One day though, they take things too far and break into a house that has been abandoned for years, destroying the property of a person that they had never met, and who had done nothing wrong. They find a large, clear amber stone in a glass case, and once they break the glass and Andiron holds it up to his eyes, something goes wrong. As the nightmare unfolds and their wills are tested, Keith tries to get his friend back, and Andiron tries not to forget who he is, and what he was ever fighting for...

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!
