Exhausted from watching her mother endure abuse at the hands of her father, Tiara is determined to escape both the hood and her toxic home life. In her search for a way out, she faces near-death experiences that lead her straight into the arms of a man she believes is responsible for the murder of her neighborhood friend, A1.

Surrounded by death and violence, his world is turned upside down when he crosses paths with Tiara, a broken girl who unexpectedly brings light into his dark life. As their bond deepens, they are forced to confront the dangerous world they both come from. Can their love survive the deadly obstacles thrown in their way?

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!
