He might be a psychopath, but he's not a monster. In Hannibal Lectern's alternate reality, due to the assassination of Lincoln before he could take office, slavery was never abolished in America. Civil unrest has reached cataclysmic proportions. Hannibal, a perfectly calm and dispassionate candidate for the mission, traverses back through spacetime, intercepting Lincoln's would-be killers. Indebted to Hannibal, Lincoln shows him the most intimate corners of his life, accessing a humanity that Hannibal didn't know he possessed. Together they transcend space, time, and death to rewrite history and care for their fellow man-- even when your fellow man is a serial cannibal.
