In a scorched, post-apocalyptic wasteland, a relentless young scavenger hunts for the rarest bounty left in the world: a functioning power core. Worth over a billion credits, it’s her only shot at escaping a life of survival. But when a cheerful little robot latches onto her, wanting nothing more than to be her friend, her search for power cores becomes about more than just survival. When she finally faces what she’s been looking for, she’s forced to choose between the future she’s fought for and saving the only companion who never left her side.
