Killian, or Ian, Jones has found himself in a city full of artists; people somewhat like himself, but having to live with his bland and boring aunt, the complete opposite of Ian, has put some strain on him. He doesn't have anyone to understand his problems, such as the devastating accident that stole his parents away from him, and feels completely and utterly alone. He drowns himself in his work, the preparation for an art festival that can win him a chance to live a life that he controls himself, and keeps anyone who tries help to him far away. But a girl named Lilah Evans somehow manages to sneak her way into his barriers, leaving Ian with a strange new feeling that he doesn't understand.

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!
