Its mysterious ruler, Abraxas, uses devious social experiments to manipulate the Kids and keep the gangs at each other's throats, thereby maintaining the status quo that keeps his corrupt City Management in power.

There are no obvious exits. No escape from the city. A city without end, with no official name, known to the Kids only as Punk City. Where the Kids can't tell the real Adults apart from the Projections; or between sobering reality... and darkest fantasy.

However, when a repentant member of HBK called Ghost learns of a group named the Outsiders that may know a way to escape Punk City, it threatens to reveal the true nature of the city; and that is something neither Abraxas, nor the Powers That Be he serves, can allow.

A transgressive mix of crime, horror, dark fantasy, and suspense, "The Hell Bound Kids" is "Lord of the Flies" meets Sol Yurick's "The Warriors."
