In 1925, three climbers set out to conquer Mount Everest. One is a British war poet, one a French alpine guide, and one an American idealist chasing glory. Their goal is simple: reach the summit and recover the body of a missing young man whose grieving mother refuses to believe he is dead.
But something else is waiting on the mountain.
As the expedition climbs higher, they are stalked by a force more terrifying than frostbite or avalanches. One that whispers through the ice, tracks them in the snow, and has nothing human behind its eyes.
What really happened on Everest in 1924? And what truth lies buried in the death zone?
This is not just a tale of survival. It is a descent into pure fear, 28,000 feet above sea level.
