After the "Big Confrontation" in the previous installment "Hellbound", Pinhead - the Black Pope of Hell - is trapped inside a block of black marble. This dark marble block contains both Pinhead and the LeMarchand puzzle cube, and is purchased by a young playboy to serve as a decorative sculpture in his nightclub. But Pinhead soon tries to break free... by instigating the playboy to lure victims into his proximity... so that he can obtain their blood. Once freed, Pinhead vehemently seeks to destroy the cube... so he need never return to Hell again. But a female journalist starts investigating these grisly murders, and is determined to stand in his nefarious way.—Zeger DESMEDT
