Did George Mallory die going up or coming down the summit of Everest, 8th June 1924? Seventy years later when Fukamachi, a young reporter, buys an old Kodak camera in a market in Kathmandu, he thinks he can find the answer. This discovery draws him into the world of eager mountaineers chasing impossible conquests, where love and ghosts intertwine.
