The world acts like it cares, when really all that matter's is how beautiful you are to the world. The world twists your perception of beauty into a particular idea that you agree with. The others, the ones who try to become what the world wants in the way of beauty, are like Lola. It was no more than three simple words that set her off on a trail that she could not turn back from. She was consumed by counting the bones she could see and the weight that she lost each time she skipped breakfast. Spiraling into anorexia, depression and self harm she came a balancing act teetering on the edge and this is her story.

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!
