This hilarious, friendship-themed series follows a ghost-dinosaur named Cobble who’s been roaming the world alone for millions of years. Cobble starts a diary because he has begun losing track of the passing days. He has a set routine everyday: He commutes on the bus, visits the haunted lighthouse, and observes a seven-year-old boy named Kevin who's obsessed with ketchup. But Cobble's world gets turned upside-down when he meets Bonny, a goldfish ghost (who's forever trapped in the fishbowl where she died by ketchup!). Bonny is determined to travel to the ocean, but Cobble is worried about breaking his routine, which could have horrible consequences... There are ghost rules that need to be followed! Will Cobble agree to help Bonny reach the ocean?

Cobble and Bonny are officially on their way to the ocean! Except... they might be lost in a monster-filled forest. After their run-in with the ghost hunter twins, Ruth and Dolores, Cobble and Bonny are being extra careful as they travel through the woods. At the same time, Cobble's Gregification seems to be getting worse. Will his neck be the next body part to disappear? He and Bonny need to make it to the ocean quick, so he can return to his routine before he becomes a shapeless ghost like Greg. But will they ever reach the ocean? And what if it isn't everything Bonny thought it would be?
