Synopsis

In Peru’s Cordillera Blanca, recreational climbers Cam and Vinny take on a high-altitude expedition that quickly becomes part adventure, part existential crisis. As the mountains grow steeper and the oxygen thinner, the question “Is this worth it?” echoes louder with every climb. Battling altitude sickness, bad decisions, and the fine line between bravery and stupidity, the duo push deeper into the Peruvian Andes driven by the uneasy feeling that playing it safe might be the bigger risk.
