I was a regular kid, I had a normal life!

Boyfriends, high school drama, the occasional prank, evil step mom, the whole nine yards of the cliche life. I used to hate my cliche, just-like-everybody-else's life. I tried to be different. I tried to act, but they always compared me to other actresses. I tried to write, and they told me it belonged alongside Harry Potter and the like.

I just wanted to be different!

Boy, did I hate my life.

Now I'd give anything to have it back, because the Cold Ones won't let me go.

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!
