With a sharp breath in I jolt upwards. The cool air makes my throat and lungs ache. I look around and I realize I'm sitting in the middle of a street surrounded by thick forest. The asphalt underneath me is rough and so cold it penetrates my worn jeans and sweater. My toes are numb inside the dirty white sneakers covering them. There's a dull ache in my bones. Looking around again I see a big sign on one side of the road. I try to read it but everything is blurry. Blinking hard a few times my vision clears up.

"Papaver Valley?"

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!
