A retired FBI profiler is reluctantly called back into service to track down a sophisticated serial killer known as "The Tooth Fairy." To understand the new killer's mind, he must confront the imprisoned cannibalistic psychiatrist, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who was responsible for his own physical and psychological scars. It becomes a dangerous game of psychological manipulation.
