The Wake takes place a century after a nuclear winter has obliterated the world we know today. As tribes of survivors struggle to rebuild, we begin to learn that remnants of the old world, and the very forces that destroyed it, may not be entirely absent. Each of our seasons follows a distinct yet interconnected protagonist and their society - an isolated township, a humming metropolis, an alliance of jungle tribes, and a seemingly abandoned research facility - working to thrive in this desolate world. When a powerful being from the past is uncovered, the survivors begin to realize that the true battle for their world is only just now beginning. On an epic and global scale, The Wake challenges the possibilities of the technology we know today, the capabilities of the human mind, and man’s inherent struggle to survive.
