That man was my whole life. He felt... he felt like the first breath when you step outside after rain falls, like when you peer out your window and see nothing but sunlight and birds, and grass so vibrant it felt like the first time you've ever seen it. Like the first dip into a clear pool of water, disturbing the glass-like finish. He felt like opening up a new book, eager to know what happens in the end. Only this ending broke me. He was my Achilles Heel.

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!
