Four former friends. One memorial hike. No clean version of the truth.
Three years after Oliver Huxley fell, Julian, Astrid, Nils, and Luka reunite to carry his ashes up Fever Peak.
Officially, it is closure.
It isn’t.
Oliver was beautiful, brilliant, beloved, and very good at making people need him. At university, he arranged their lives like rooms built around him: who belonged, who was useful, who was wanted, and who would be left outside.
Now the four people who survived him are back together with his ashes, his memory, and their competing versions of what happened.
As the climb turns brutal and a storm closes in, old loyalties begin to fracture. Grief becomes performance. Friendship becomes evidence. And the truth about Oliver’s fall is not a confession waiting to happen.
It is something they carried all the way up.
FEVER PEAK is a character-driven queer psychological thriller about elite friendship, moral rot, grief-as-performance, and the single second that decides what kind of person you are.
