In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the
nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts.
Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of
the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to
appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a
fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives
alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when
she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and
level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or
be killed.
