This story follows Travis, a young boy of seventeen who finds himself in the midst of a very unpromising situation. A disease-stricken mother, an indifferent father and the ever so strong emotion of helplessness. A town buried in drug abuse and sadness, he has made his mind to get out of it all and start out bright. But he also knows that he cannot get himself to leave and let the people of the town of Emberton continue to be engulfed in living death. Not without at the very least trying to figure out the source of drugs engulfing the town and bringing it to its breaking point.

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!
