SHERPA

Placid OLIVER SMITH was never very much interested in himself- much to the displeasure of his HYPER-DRIVEN PARENTS he got pleasure from helping FRIENDS and even STRANGERS reach their goals. When Oliver drops out of college just shy of graduation to help his obnoxious blind classmate CARRIE LIN achieve her unlikely dream of climbing Mount Everest, the obstacles they face along the way (including ridicule at being a white Sherpa for a Chinese girl) force him to decide whether he's doing this for her or for his own glory.
