It’s been 12 months since Katniss Everdeen’s victory in the 74th Hunger Games. Now a symbol of rebellion and hope against the fascist Capitol, she and her teammate Peeta Mellark embark on a mandatory Victor’s Tour. While unrest grows, President Snow announces the 75th Hunger Games — known as the Quarter Quell — which forces past victors back into the arena. As the Districts inch towards a revolution, Katniss must once again fight for survival — but this time among seasoned champions.
