Two young people are forced to make a stand in this thought-provoking look at racism and prejudice in an alternate society.
Sephy is a Cross -- a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a Nought -- a ācolourlessā member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses. The two have been friends since early childhood, but thatās as far as it can go. In their world, Noughts and Crosses simply donāt mix. Against a background of prejudice and distrust, intensely highlighted by violent terrorist activity, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum -- a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger. Can they possibly find a way to be together?
