Set against the vast, icy silence of the Swiss Alps, Adieu Gary Cooper follows Lenny, a restless young American who has walked away from the world he was born into. Drawn to the mountains for their purity and danger, he seeks a life stripped of expectations, politics, and the noise of the modern age.
Lenny’s retreat is shaken when he meets Jess Donahue, the sharp-witted daughter of a U.S. diplomat. Their unlikely connection pulls him into a circle of wanderers—outsiders and idealists who escape to the heights hoping to outrun their own shadows.
But the mountains are not simply a refuge; they are a mirror. As Lenny is forced to confront where he comes from and what he’s running toward, the snowy peaks begin to close in around him, revealing the thin line between freedom and isolation.
A story of youth, rebellion, and quiet longing, Adieu Gary Cooper explores what happens when a generation searching for meaning climbs as high as it can go—only to find that the air grows thinner with every step.
