The Zehn. A group of trained agents that went undercover in many special cases. 

But since that case all those years ago, the Zehn have slowed down in their cases. Taking two a year compared to the twenty or more before that one case.

And now their mistakes are back to haunt them, or rather, that one case that took a turn for the worse. 

They took some lives, so they will take some back. Until things take a turn for the worse... again.

This time they can't stop. This time they can't turn their backs on the problem and run away. This time 'The Zehn' have their families to worry about. 

All those kids, their wives and husbands, to protect. The game is on, the timer has started. How long until the price has been payed? How long before the horror story is over?

You know what they say - an eye for an eye. But what they don't tell you - once you start, once you keep going, it gets harder to stop.

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!
