Jack Martin’s Bolt from the Blue is a story about dreams, told through the different perspectives of its two main characters. In Mia Ibarra, Martin explores how dreams are tempered by the rollercoaster ride of everyday survival.

Through the relationship between Mia and Lucas, Bolt from the Blue will discuss the importance of keeping dreams intact.
