Marie and Harold Peru Smith have a beautiful family of 6. They all live in a two-story house painted white. To them it's very pretty. What seems to be very difficult to handle, really isn't because they haven't had any problems. Not until Marie finds out she's pregnant.... with a baby boy. The boy was named, Joey. He wasn't that different from the other's, well excluding his ocean-blue eyes which made Harold feel proud because not one of his children had blue eyes. Therefore Harold cherished Joey, yet this didn't make him treat Joey better than the rest. He was just, glad. 

Sadly this joy only lasted a good year because a single car crashed had changed it all. In this crash, Harold (along with his son) took a wrong turn. Ending his life in a matter of 5 seconds. Surprisingly Joey lived. Marie overwhelmed with grief found someone to blame, her youngest son. And this made the mother commit a bad choice...

29 parts Complete

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!
