Does anyone truly know where we go once we die? Sure, humans created heaven, purgatory, and hell as security blankets against the unknown. But how can we really know where someone goes after they die?

Will wants to know. There's nothing keeping him alive - or so he thinks. After hanging himself off a bridge, he is surprised to wake up and find himself... right back in his bedroom. But the thing is, no one can hear or see him. He's definitely dead, but he's still here. There are others, of course. They don't really talk much.

The worst part? He wasn't as hopeless as he thought. But there's nothing he can do about it, because now he's dead.

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!
