Pale Blue Dot

Have you ever wondered whether there is someone else out there? Aliens, perhaps? Well, in that thought, you are not alone.

Overview

Have you ever wondered whether there is something - someone - else out there?

Joel Pinkerton believes there are no extraterrestrials, no life forms other than us. An insurance fraud investigator, Joel works for a company that has introduced UFO abduction insurance which, you know, is a bit weird.

What’s even weirder is Joel’s call to the next investigation. Storm, a 16-year-old schoolgirl claims herself as the most recent victim of intergalactic intrusion, with the conspiracy theories to match. It would all be very easy to dismiss… except, how did Storm end up in that field far out of town? What happened during her 24-hour disappearance?

As alien life grows more and more familiar for Joel, he finds himself alienated from his family. His wife, Holly, needs him back home - his bouncing baby girl is acting a little bit weird.

Pale Blue Dot is the work of Kathryn Marquet. The story of togetherness and alien behaviour, what is real and what we wish to be; La Boite has taken on the tale, as foreign as it is relatable, and added their twist for modern audiences.
