The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping

16‐year‐old Haymitch Abernathy lives in District 12 with his impoverished mother and younger brother. A tribute's attempted escape turns fatal during the reaping for the Second Quarter Quell. In a cover-up maneuver, Capitol officials—including Drusilla Sickle and cameraman Plutarch Heavensbee—appoint Haymitch as a substitute, re‐staging the reaping. His fellow District 12 tributes include Wyatt Callow, Louella McCoy, and Maysilee Donner.
