Jake is your classic jock; loud, popular, sporty and not very smart in most subjects.
Blue has selective mutism. He hasn't spoken since the accident 3 years ago where his parents and twin brother died and he lost his left leg. He got adopted by a kind family a year ago after being in several highly abusive homes. These two boys aren't a likely couple but when they get stuck in a cabin together on a school trip, everything changes.

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!
