A darkly comedic, post-apocalyptic road trip tale, Battery Life follows the unlikely partnership between a wasteland scavenger past his prime and a seventeen-year-old girl trapped inside a literal killing machine.

After the space station she calls home crashes back to Earth, Diane—the lone survivor—finds herself stranded in the Junkyard: a toxic wasteland where humans, machines, and everything in between fight for survival in the ruins of a long-forgotten war.
A mysterious scavenger named Virgil soon stumbles across Diane’s escape pod. Desperate to preserve her untainted blood, he tricks her into entering a mechanical battle suit nicknamed “The Grave Walker.” This suit was designed to keep soldiers fighting at all costs, and it can protect Diane from the elements … but will also shut down her vital organs if it runs out of power. Win some, lose some.
In order to escape the Grave Walker, Diane must join Virgil on a chaotic road trip to save one of the world’s last scientists from a fanatical warlord. The journey brings the two unlikely partners closer than either of them expected—creating an unlikely bond that could prove dangerous for everyone.
