It's been 79 years since the disease that nearly killed off the human race attacked the world. Now living on 'The Island' is Talise, a young girl among the survivors of the human race. Talise has her world thrown upside down on the day her adult life is to begin.

In a place where being different and asking too many questions isn't an option, Talise finds herself in a predicament where she must fight to save her family, friends, and possibly everyone else on the Island.

Talise's life is constantly on the line as she learns some of the lies she's been fed since the beginning. But Talise wants to escape; to go outside. A place she didn't even think existed until her 18th birthday, due to the 80ft wall that keeps them all caged in.

Will her new love help her on this quest, or add to the risk? Everything is at stake for this young girl as she embarks on a dangerous mission she didn't sign up for, but can't back out of.

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!
