Angel is a lonely girl infatuated with stories of forgotten lands and ancient castles. On one cold and miserable night she stares up at the open abyss of the midnight sky and she wishes for something more, something other than this monotonous, empty, grey world around her. Perhaps Gods looked down on her that night, perhaps the stars took pity, perhaps Lady Luck spun her wheel, or, most likely, perhaps the universe is simply  transcendently strange and incomprehensible, but for whatever reason Angel's wish was granted. The land she soon discovers is somehow an expanse of alien familiarity, of ordered chaos and humble riches - an amalgamation of all that is magical and curious.

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!
