How would you feel if you were living in a prison from birth, to age 12. In the year3040, as soon as your born, your parents have 30 mins. To name you and tell you goodbye. As soon as their time is up, you and 100 other infants are shipped to OakLand Homes. This is where you will spend the rest of your 12 years, or your whole life if you are among the unfortunate ones. The day you turn 12, your original parents have two options. Show or don't show. If they show, you get to leave OakLand Homes and live the rest of your life in the real world. If they don't show, you have to stay at OakLand homes for the rest of your life. From 12:01 am to 11:59 pm (one whole day) on the day you turn twelve is the only time you have for your parents to arrive and take you home. If you are left behind, you become a member of OakLand Home's staff, with a new torture every day.......

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!
