Uncle Lee is set in the world of In the Wake of the Fall, a larger series concept created by two high school students with a big vision: to tell a grounded, character-driven story set after a devastating infection has changed the world. At the centre of the story is Lee, a man living alone on a rural property, holding onto routine, survival and the last pieces of the life he once knew. When danger pushes closer to home, Lee is forced to confront not only the infected outside his perimeter, but the grief, responsibility and hope he has been carrying with him.
