After surviving a shooting, Professor Kristen Warner finds herself trapped in a hospital bed, her body tormented by bullet wounds and the agony of kidney stones. To most, a tragedy. To Dr. Hannibal Lecter, an irresistible suffering blooming right beneath his surgical gloves. Acting as both her physician and therapist, he guides Kristen through a slow and painful recovery. Haunted by nightmares and prone to reckless outbursts, she teeters on the edge of self-destruction. Behind her stubborn resistance, Hannibal senses a crushing guilt, one he suspects is tied to the tragedy at the university. Oblivious to his unorthodox methods, Kristen is pushed to confession. Lecter discovers a darkness that mirrors his own, one he cannot resist, and so he begins peeling her layers one by one. To see exactly what lies within her.
