City of Walls follows the story of three kids growing up in Kowloon City. Originally a military base, Kowloon is a completely internilalized city. It was built on an Oasis in the desert allowing it to maintian its isolation and complete independence from the outside world. The city itself exists within the walls of its many conjoined buildings. Its Social system is one of economic segregation. The bulk of the city remains working class or poor. Its citizens are kept inline and provided for by the Triads and Nobles. The Nobles and highest ranking Triads live in the one part of the city that resesmbles a modern day metropolis. We learn the city through the eyes and experiences of Ariana, Daniel and Jin. 3 children who meet and become friends in this extreme and often surreal environment. A place where Triad word is law and the only way for most people to move up in life is joining up. A city where flouresent lights determine where you go or don't go. Where day and night are more passing concepts then applied facts. A city where the easiest and sometimes the only way to see the sky is by going on the roof.
