"Unfortunate, that your bird can't speak for itself."

***
Javeria Hadid has been gifted miscellaneous pieces of nature by the same lark ever since she turned eighteen. Perhaps it saw her one day and thought she was worthy of a few pretty pebbles. 

Five years later, she and her best friend visit a museum where they discover an anonymous painting of her lark surrounded by familiar treasures.

They decide to search for the artist, thinking they might know who the lark belongs to.

However, tracking down the artist might be harder than they thought.

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!
