Sindile is a woman that has gone through more pain in five months, than many will face their whole lives. In spite of what has been done to her, she refuses to break under the pressure. Trying to get away from the parents that shred her to pieces, the memories that cause nightmares, and thoughts that drown her mind everyday - Sindile is learning to save herself. Between a friend that finds her in a bathroom stall, a man who seems to see more of who she is than she can, and a bartender to treats her like a daughter: Sindile may learn to do more than just save herself, she just might learn how to love herself too.

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!
