Ashton VanderRoma can't get through a weekend without partying. He loves the attention he gets from girls, and he always returns their advances, despite the fact that he has a girlfriend.

At the start of his senior year, everything changes. His girlfriend finally catches on to his lies, and his parents are getting sick of his lack of respect. Still, neither of those problems measure up to the bomb that gets dropped on him. Now he's receiving a triple dose of reality, and he has no choice but to grow up, and quickly. Can he take control of the life that's spiraling out of control, or will he crack under the pressure?

Rated PG-13 for language, teen alcohol use, mentions of drug use, and sensuality.

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!
