The once-mighty\n      house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the\n      slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit,\n      and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.\n\n\n\n      The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment\n      of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest\n      of the low.
