I hear a gun shot....scared, he has finally done it. He has killed himself. I hear his words ringing through my ears.......his last few words. I run fast, screaming at him. Dad, NO! My hazel eyes search the room, tentatively. There, I see him on the floor, with a pool of blood around his face. His eyes, still open, searching for something, and he points at me, finally, and murmurs slowly "I love you......" I look at him in disbelief with a blank stare, and fall hard on the floor, smashing my head. It hurts as if a thousand needles stuck in to my head at one.

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!
