She's the girl who never talks to anyone. She stands alone in the corner and wonders why nobody ever bothers to talk to her. He's the overly-confident country boy who always gets what he wants. He's the one with all the charms, the one that all the girls want. She's been hurt too many times and has fallen in and out of love, and he doesn't know what love is just yet. He's sworn off of feeling any emotions, while she feels too much. 
Can they ever exist in the same world, let alone be together? Or will their differences leave a rift that can never be pieced together again.

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!
