In order to save myself, I bait him to pull myself up from drowning.
He loves me, I enslave him.
He chases me, I throw thorns in his path. Everything I did was a torture to him. 

Until he's gone like a bubble, and when he comes back everything's changed. The waves suddenly backfire and our places swapped. 

He became so different from before...He became a living dangerous flag that could wreck whoever was in his path, including me.

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!
