We all know the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin... But what happens after the Piper steals the children of Hamelin? What happens when kids learn the truth about their parents? And what happens if they ever return? New Hamelin tells the story of these children, a story of wrath and revenge. But can a town once full of rats ever redeem itself, or will a child always do as his parents do? |
