Summary of the plot

Sephy and Callum know themselves since they are little and they become very good friends. The problem is that Sephy is a black skinned cross and Callum light skinned nought and that the world is divided in these two groups where the light skinned Noughts get choked.

Sephys family and Callums mother argued themselves and Callums mother got fired from the job in Sephys family, so Callums brother, Jude has to leave his school because they haven’t got any money anymore. Jude was so frustrated because he has no more future chances, that he connected to a armed resistance against the Crosses.

One day four noughts are allowed to attend cross schools under them also Callum was one of the four noughts. Sephy hopes that this friendship could finally get public.  Against all expectations from the noughts that they get a chance to show what they know, they got joshed and more choked by the crosses and even by the teachers.

So Callum does the same as his brother and he is forced to go underground. One day Callum and the other people in the underground decide to abduct Sephy. In these two days of this abduction, Sephy and Callum finally fall in love and spend a night together.

Callum lets Sephy escape and they got isolated from each other. Days later Sephy realized that she is pregnant from Callum, and she only has two choices. Choice one is to kill her unborn child and the other choice is that Callum got killed because he was romantically involved with a dark skinned cross. In the end Callum gets hung because he takes the second choice.
