The Fifth Thunderbolt

When your fictional kidnapping becomes a little too real…

Frankie and Jen are writing a film about a kidnapping. It’s meant to be fiction—a lighthearted drama starring Roddy Lightning, the legendary rocker with a mischievous grin and a memory that’s starting to fade.

But when Roddy disappears just before filming begins, Frankie wonders if life is imitating art. Or is something more sinister at play?

With his entire fortune invested in the production, Frankie can’t afford for things to go wrong. But they are.

Spectacularly.

His feelings for Jen are threatening their partnership. Their producer Jason is making his move on Jen. And somewhere out there, Roddy Lightning is missing.

Racing against time, Frankie must find Roddy, save the film, and sort out his romantic life before everything collapses.

Because this time, it’s not just a story—it’s real.

A witty, warm mystery about making films, taking chances, and learning that the biggest adventure isn’t on screen—it’s in real life.
