The Climb is a
story about trust and faith in others. Cameron left home at a young age
and the life he had planned didn’t work out. After years away from his
parents, he decided to return only to find that they had passed away in a
tragic car accident. He was left alone to wander the streets again.
Destiny was
raised in an extremely religious environment. During high school she met
an artist who showed her a world of drugs and led her down a road her
parents were ashamed of. She chose him over her parents. A decision she
would regret forever after the day he drugged her and tattooed most of her
face. A twisted art form that left her with no where to go.
The story
follows the relationship between Cameron and Destiny a few years after
these events. Both struggle through each day begging for change and
escaping a brutal heat wave. Cameron has grown frustrated with his failed
attempts to make his life better. Destiny has completely given up on
herself. Even though she has no faith in others, she truly believes that
Cameron will make it out someday. However, she believes no one will help
him and that he will make it on his own. He maintains that you need
people’s help and that trust is vital to survive.
Both of their
philosophies collide when his plan to get out is revealed and she is left
with a choice to trust again or betray him and face her demons alone.
The Climb is
about overcoming the challenges one faces. It’s about being determined to
beat any obstacle you are faced with and doing whatever it takes to make
things better.
