Young Tamsin Caddel escapes an abusive father in a search of a happy place, a place she could call home. On her way to contentment, she meets strangers and each of them gives her a long-lasting impact by telling her stories about their life. Stories filled with lessons she would remember forever. Some are joyous, others are sorrowful, but each one carries the personality of the teller. As soon as she meets David (David Thewlis/ Remus Lupin), a middle-aged man and his girlfriend, Bree, she forgets about her forlorn life and learns that there's no meaning in a happy place if you don't have a soulmate to share it with. As she becomes closer to David, who is exactly 4 years younger than her father and 29 years older than her, she discovers a way to convey her wide spectrum of emotions and begins a new journey towards the life she has always dreamed of.
(The character of David Thewlis has a similar personality to Remus Lupin- kind, extremely smart, witty, emotional, explosive at times, also that hot moustache absolutely would suit my character, but if you don't like a moustache, feel free to imagine David without it. I do not own the character of Remus Lupin- full rights to J.K. Rowling. My character will be a bit more complex and a lot more broken for sure...)

*****
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!
