As punishment for their perceived rebellion, Katniss and Peeta are forced back into the Hunger Games arena for the Quarter Quell, a special edition of the games that takes place every 25 years. This time, the rules are even more brutal, and Katniss and Peeta must face a new set of challenges and dangers in order to survive.
