Summary:
A gripping tale of adventure, sacrifice and survival in the unforgiving wilderness of a legendary mountain. On his 18th birthday, Wolf Truly takes the cable car to the top of the mountain that looms over Palm Springs, intending to jump to his death. Instead he encounters three women who will change the course of his life. Through a series of missteps he and the women wind up stranded. They endure five days in freezing temperatures without food or water or shelter, and somehow find the courage to carry on.
