Mark is just your average thirteen-year-old—he loves his dog, photography, and hiking. But he’s also living with cancer.
When his illness returns, Mark decides he’s had enough of hospitals.
With his loyal dog Beau by his side, he sets out on a bold mission: to climb a mountain. And no matter the obstacles, he’s determined to finish what he started.
