"Everything is temporary and everyone is scared of death. That tree you're standing by, the sidewalk you're currently walking on, the desk you're sitting at, the table in front of you, the stranger standing beside you and everything else in between is temporary. But most importantly? Our lives. Everyone's life is temporary. That's why everyone is scared of death. As some of us may welcome death with open arms individually because we know we will die eventually, we may not wish or welcome it upon others we love. We've gotten so close to so many people on this earth that it hurts to see them disappear. But myself? I wish I was dead and that life wasn't given to me because like I said, it's temporary. People aren't going to be sad about my death for the rest of their lives. That's temporary as well. The sadness you feel will all be gone eventually and living on this earth knowing I will die eventually and people will get over my death soon makes me want to die."

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!
