What Is The Battery About?

The premise of The Battery without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.

During a zombie apocalypse in rural Connecticut, baseball players Ben and Mickey struggle to survive, both the undead and each other. Forced to work together as a "battery"—a pitcher and catcher—they must use their baseball skills to outwit a zombie batter. The pair's differing approaches to survival often lead to conflict, but a potential rescue appears when a human voice is heard over their walkie-talkies, leaving them to question whether salvation or danger lies ahead.

Spoilers ahead

Two former baseball players, Ben Jeremy Gardner and Mickey Adam Cronheim, drift along the back roads of Connecticut as a zombie apocalypse has overtaken New England. Their past life is slowly revealed: three months trapped inside a house in Massachusetts with Mickey’s family, where his father, mother, and brother were killed before they managed to escape. Since then, Ben has grown wary of sleeping indoors and survives by constant movement and scavenging. Mickey, by contrast, longs for a return to normalcy, stubbornly resisting practical survival skills and often retreating into his CD player, headphones keeping him isolated from the harsh new world.
