Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
A chilling sense of dread settles in as a young trainee trades psychological secrets with a cannibalistic genius to catch a killer. This claustrophobic hunt turns every conversation into a lethal game of wits.
