Trapped behind the walls of a prestigious all-boys boarding school, sixteen-year-old David Malek rails against the harsh rule of the principal of the house, Mr Chambers, while dreaming of one day being free. When he receives a late night phone call from Megan Harris, the beautiful but spoiled daughter of a tuxedo magnate, it prompts him to act and David must navigate his way past taunting dorm-mates, questions of his virginity and an odd confrontation with his former best friend turned nemesis Andy Walsh who has harbored a mysterious grudge against him for almost four years. Once out in the world everything that can go wrong does, and David finds himself facing the oblivion of expulsion from school upon his return. With no hope left for redemption he decides to embark upon one final weekend of drinking, parties and most importantly a crusade to celebrate 'the end of all things'. It is this very crusade that will lead David to an absolution in the strangest of places, a tragic eventuality upon returning to school and a bizarre reconciliation with Andy where the two boys will discover that they're not so different after all. A gripping tale of teenage angst and rebellion set against the backdrop of a prestigious all-boys boarding school in the middle of the 1990s. Everest is the coming-of-age story you cannot miss.
