As a flame burns bright
Does it not flicker?
Did you not know?
A flame is a tricker
The devil falls as the shadow of a flickering flame
It's all a game, just the same
Is the tear of a weeping angel not like the voice of a singing demon?
For because of this it is the flicker that the flame must summon.
It flicks and plays to lure in
As the devil must only be a in the flame a shadow,
To stay and watch and play from a safe spot below.
For if the devil is a shadow sought,
A devil dead he would be, caught.

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!
