I've decided to expand upon the "love triangle" between Betty, James, and "August", and try and weave every single song from "folklore" and "evermore" into one singular story. I'll try and have the songs work as well as I can from at least one character's point of view, but I'm mostly using them as a guide for the story, rather than a restraint. Plenty new characters join the cast, chronicling a multigenerational sage of an elite Southern family. Taking place between the 1960s and 1990s, this family grapples with identity in a world of changing social norms. Can their love win out over their programed need for societal validation?

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!
