Description

The summit of Mount Everest offers only one thing: a divine view. But for those who climb its slopes, the real challenge lies far below.

For fourteen-year-old Peak Marcello, life takes an unexpected turn when he's arrested and given two choices: serve time in juvenile detention or embark on a journey with his long-lost father to Thailand. As it turns out, his father's interest in him is not entirely altruistic, and Peak soon finds himself caught up in a climbing company's ambitions.

With the Everest summit as his ultimate goal, Peak must confront the risks and sacrifices that come with pursuing his passion. Will he be able to overcome the challenges ahead, or will the climb prove too costly?
