No matter the circumstance, everybody got a little hustle in them.

 Whether it be a girl tryna graduate college to get her degree or a mother on welfare, people got a drive in them that drives them to get what they want. For some people, that's a house in the suburbs with the white picket fence. For others, it's pushing a new Bentley and wearing the flyest clothing. Success means different things for the different people, and for Solstice, it means hustling in the bitter streets of New York City-in all five boroughs. She had to go through a lot of crazy shit-from prostitution to drug dealing-it was nothing new to her.

She had a cold heart, she didn't take shit from nobody. She scared even drug lords. She was gutta-and I wanted to figure out how she got that way.

But more importantly, I wanted to be like her.

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!
