Adams Fall is writer Sean Desmond's first novel.

It recounts the events which occur to a college student in his senior year at Harvard University.

In the midst of completing his thesis and applying for a study abroad program, the narrator copes with his stresses by resorting to alcohol and other drugs.

The novel was the (loose) basis for the 2002 film Abandon starring Katie Holmes.
