Dixon was once an Olympic-level runner. But he missed the team by two- tenths of a second, and ever since that pain decades ago, he hasn't allowed a goal to consume him. But when his charming older brother, Nate, suggests that they attempt to be the first Black American men to summit Mount Everest, Dixon can't refuse. Once on the mountain, they are met with extreme weather conditions, oxygen deprivation, and precarious terrain. And in one devastating moment, Dixon's world is upended. Ultimately, Dixon must confront the truth of what happened on the mountain and come to terms with who can and cannot be saved.
