Hannibal Rising

After the death of his parents during World War II, young Hannibal Lecter moves in with his beautiful aunt and begins plotting revenge on the barbarians responsible for his sister's death.

Having witnessed the gruesome death of his parents and his beloved little sister in battle-ravaged 1944 Lithuania, a now-teenage Hannibal Lecter finds himself in an orphanage. As horrific, deep-red memories of war and carnage plague Lecter, the young orphan seeks refuge in the 1950s Parisian home of his uncle's statuesque Japanese widow, Lady Murasaki, who takes him in, eager to appease his deep-seated pain. But, his ever-growing hunger for retribution demands action, and now, all those who had something to do with his sister's grisly demise will pay in blood. Is the world prepared for the arrival of Hannibal, the monster among men?
