Katniss and Peeta return from the hunger games as hero's and regularly give their extra food to other members of the district, Gale is sent to work in the mines and so sees very little of Katniss but she still hunts game for Gale's family. Before she and Peeta leave for the victory tour, President snow visits katniss and tells her that if she can't convince him she truly loves peeta her act of defiance with the berries will cost her family and gale along with his family their lives. He also reveals that her action in the arena has began a chain reaction in which some districts are beginning to revolt. Katniss also reveals she kissed gale and her relationship with Peeta has cooled.
On the victory tour, Katniss makes a moving speech at district 11 for Rue in which a man sings her mockingjay tune and the whole district give their thanks which is again seen as an act of revolt and the singing man is executed. The rest of the tour is mostly uneventful apart from Peeta's public proposal their return to district 12 where Katniss witnesses an uprising in district 8 on the mayor's television that prompts her to persuade Gale and Peeta need to run away with her into the woods along with their families. Gale however is caught poaching in the woods and a new Gameskeeper in the district punishes him severely for his crime which nearly kills him but is stopped by Katniss.
As Katniss's mother nurses gale back to health Katniss goes to the woods to visit the lake where she comes across two survivors from district 8 who she gives food to and is shocked when they tell her they are leaving for district 13 which hasn't been destroyed but is living underground as the Capitol use old footage of the district on television. On her way back she finds the old fence has been repaired and is live with electricity but managed to escape by climbing over a tree but badly injures her foot.
Katniss is ordered to rest and once barely recovered is forced to do her wedding photo shoot and by this time is inwardly struggling against her feelings for both Peeta and Gale and what she should do about a revolution against the Capitol, knowing district 12 is too scared to openly revolt. The next day on television katniss is featured in all her wedding dresses which the public will vote on for their favorite, but President snow announces that for 75th anniversary of the games two tributes from the existing pool of victors will go back into the arena for the second time. Meaning Katniss and either Haymitch or Peeta will return.
Katniss realizes Peeta is needed for the revolt as he has a way with words and will be a good leader and vows to protect him in the arena even if it means her own death, Peeta volunteers to take Haymitch's place in the games. They are unable to say goodbye to their families and are instead taken away to the place of the games where they mingle with other victors and gain allies such as Finnick and Mags. At their interview Katniss is dressed in her wedding dress and Peeta in a tux, on stage Katniss twirls and unknowingly watches as her dress catches fire and is wearing a mockingjay costume, the symbol of the revolt. Peeta lies and tells the crows Katniss is pregnant with their child, causing pain and confusion among the audience and the tributes stand holding hands before being herded back inside.
They are released into the arena, a dome with jungle at the edges and a small sea in the middle. Katniss, Finnick, Peeta and Mags make it to the jungle and have to escape various obstacles that are released at every hour such as poisoned gas, mutant monkeys, a huge wave and some deadly insects. Katniss realizes the other tributes are protecting Peeta by giving up their own lives. Beetee (another tribute) has discovered a way to electrocute the groups enemy by rigging up wire to the lightening tree but Katniss and Johanna leave to spread the wire but are attacked and Johanna pins Katniss and removes the tracker and leads their attackers away. Katniss rushes back and shoots the wire into the force field the moment lightening hits the tree, causing the arena to explode.
When she comes around she is hysterical as she can't find Peeta, Once she has recovered a bit more she is told that The tributes have been involved in a plan to destroy the arena and protect peeta to gain Katniss's alliance and that multiple districts have risen up against the Capitol. She is told she is the living face of the revolution and if she dies, so does the revolt. She attacks Haymitch for not telling her sooner and when she finds out that Peeta, Johanna and another tribute have been captured by the Capitol and that she is being transported to District 13. Katniss is sedated and when she comes around once more Gale is above her and tells her that her family escaped but that District 12 has been destroyed.
Yeap, the entire factor is to explode the sector, the coil of twine used to be to trap a few lightening in order that the explosion would arise, they desired to avoid wasting Katniss, on the finish Peeta will get tortured through the Capitol.
katniss and peeta are back in the arena with other victors
katniss and peeta are back to loving each other again
the capitol takes peeta johanna and enobaria (however you spell her name)
rebels take katniss finnick and beete kitniss
at the very end katniss learns the capitol destroyed district 12
