19 year-old Brooklyn Jones had always achieved everything she's gone for. Through the hardest of competitions and the simplest of practices, Brook had worked harder than anyone to be the best that she could be. With an easy-going life, Brook had always found it easy to pursue the thing she loved most: skating. 

However, when a tragic accident struck the Jones' family, everything changed. Brook found herself adjusting to the new lifestyle and the new personalities around her. 

As her once structured life became messier and messier, Brook tried to find a way to get it under control. With her mom getting worse by the day and her brother starting his own life, Brook was blindly falling into a hole of hopelessness. 

One day, when an email sneaks its way into Brook's inbox, it leaves her weighing her options and forces her to make the second hardest decision in her life. In the end, she knew she had to find a way to get out of the hole she was sinking in and this was it. 

She had to take that next step. 

Leaving behind untouched problems, Brook sets off for the states. 

Follow Brooklyn as she navigates this scary but exciting new chapter in her life. Through blisters, bruises, and heartbreak, seeds are planted and weeds are cut down. 

Did she leave for the right reasons? And at what cost? Twists, turns, and falls have been second nature on the ice, but can she handle it in life?

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!
