John Winkatsu one of the Olympic swimmers stands out to be quite the underdog in the finals. As the bottom seed for the finals, he gets placed in the 8th lane and has lots to overcome to accomplish his life long dream of winning gold at the Olympics. Journey through his past as he struggled with coaches he disagreed with and "rivals" way better than him that probably didn't even know his name. Love, success, failure, and pursuing his dream, John Winkatsu surely is an odd individual.

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!
