Noughts and Crosses is set in a time when the Noughts (white people) are ruled by the Crosses (black people).



Sephy (a Cross) and Callum (a Nought) have been friends since they were young; Callum's mum Meggie worked for Sephy's rich parents.



Callum is one of the few Noughts to enrol at Sephy's school, which results in chaos when she chooses to sit at a table with Callum. However, when all of the Noughts are treated badly at school, Callum joins the Liberation Militia with his brother Jude, who is angry with all Crosses for treating them unfairly.



They fight against Crosses who believe all Noughts are inferior. Angrily, they kidnap Sephy, whose dad is Kamal Hadley, an important figure in politics. But when Callum is left alone with Sephy, he realises that he loves her, but many people do not agree with what happens next...
