Bria feels like an outcast. Shy and hard of hearing, she struggles to make friends and connect with others. At the age of 21, she leaves to travel around the world, hoping to find a place where she belongs. She travels to the West African country of Gamanya where she meets Jenica, an 18-year-old Deaf girl who dreams of becoming a doctor but has been prevented from studying science due to the superstitious and discriminatory beliefs of her teachers. They become friends, learning about each other's cultures, and growing together through their shared experiences. Together they travel from Jenica's small village to the Capital where there is a Deaf school that will allow Jenica to pursue her dreams. Over the course of the journey, they both learn the meaning of pursuing their dreams and the sacrifices it will take to get there.

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!
