"My dear, you're a butterfly in a cage... You can't live like this."

Alice has felt nothing but a suffocating loneliness ever since the death of her mother and baby brother in a house fire five years ago. A suspected arson; no one was ever  convicted.
The loss of them left her eyes dead, her heart cold, and her emotions dulled. She feels caged. Invisible bars of steel closing in on her, keeping her from the real world in which she once relished. They were her happiness, and someone, somewhere took that from her.

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!
