Julian has everything-the look, the wealth, and the symbolic, social, and cultural capital. But he also carries an invisible burden: the guilt from his mother passing during childbirth.

A silent but intense pain that comes and goes inside of him, like waves on a shore.
This feeling has been following him all his life, despite the help of many therapists or the support of his two best friends: Ben and Karim, who came from the same social circle as him.
There is also Neliah, a lonely but fun girl to whom he feels extremely attracted, and the diva Alika, an old friend who has been relentlessly pursuing Julian for years - one of the many sources of his anxiety. Feeling more and more trapped, he is on the verge of collapsing while the feelings of emptiness and worthlessness continue to grow inside of him.

But everything is about to change when Julian discovers the woman who could have spared his mother's life, the one destined to be his surrogate mother: the Enigmatic Eleonore.

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!
