Even gods have no place in this modern world. They can't live without fear of death. They envy us, for living our short petty lives, but they cannot play this dark game of horrors. Gods cannot live like us, as much as they may try. 

----------

Imagine if the Gods of Ancient Greece,  the heroes of Olympus, and the creatures of the night were mortal.  Imagine if they lived in a cruel realistic modern world. Like ours. How do you think that would work out?

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!
