Luke Smith, a high school student struggles to find his place in this oppressive society, harbors a dark secret that could destroy him. The year is 2110 and the dystopian Federated States enforces conformity with a savage brutality. After being forced into the underground resistance during their senior year, Luke and his best friend Josh must navigate a treacherous path that pushes him to the edge of his humanity. Luke's journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and the search for identity in a world that denies his very existence. Legend of the Fall is a compelling LGBT coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a dystopian society. It explores the challenges of embracing one's true self in the face of overwhelming odds, where courage is tested, and the fight for freedom is not just against the state, but also against the fear of who we are.
