This documentary follows Max Stainton, a physically disabled man on a mission to defy expectations and prove society is wrong about people like him. Bringing together a motley crew of friends, he decides to take on his biggest challenge yet: to trek to Everest Base Camp on horseback to prove his worth.

Yet as the reality of his world first trek hits, putting his body through incredible pain, he is forced to dive deeper into himself and question his original motivations. With the love and support of his partner, he's able to conquer Everest, and come back home with the confidence to question why he had to prove anyone wrong, yet alone himself.

Still living with the pain of the mountain, he finds the self-worth he was always looking for, in his relationship with his partner, and their new family.
