The Battery
“In a land ravaged by the undead, Ben and Mickey must learn to survive... each other.”
In rural Connecticut, baseball players Ben and Mickey are trying to survive a zombie plague. They are forced to form a battery: a catcher and a pitcher who work together to outwit the batter, the one who hits the ball. And the batter in this case just happens to be a zombie. Tough Ben and gentle Mickey frequently disagree on the best way to go about the situation. Then they suddenly hear a human voice through their walkie-talkies. Is salvation nearby, like Mickey thinks, or is Ben’s suspicion justified?
A bleak and gritty survival tale that feels intimate and grounded. It’s a slow burn of dread and quiet desperation, punctuated by moments of genuine human connection and the ever-present threat of the undead.
