Race and class don't divide people anymore. For the first time ever, a Nought Prime Minister - Tobey Durbridge - is in power. Society appears to be very different now. Years have passed since the love between Sephy, a Cross, and Callum, a Nought, destroyed their world and changed their families and society forever. Eaten up with bitterness, Callum's brother Jude, blames Sephy for the terrible losses his family has suffered. But her baby daughter has a nought father - Callum. Sephy is a Cross, one of the privileged in a society where the ruling Crosses treat the pale-skinned noughts as inferiors.

As Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into this world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into more and more danger. Sephy, Rose's mother, has told her virtually nothing about her father, but as Rose grows into a young adult, she unexpectedly discovers the truth about her parentage, and becomes determined to find out more. But when he's offered the chance to earn some money just for making a few 'deliveries', just this once, would it hurt to say 'yes'? He wants nothing to do with the gangs that rule the world he lives in. Tobey wants a better life for him and his girlfriend Callie Rose. And as hostility turns to violence, can Callum and Sephy possibly find a way to be together? They are determined to try. In their world, noughts and Crosses simply don't mix. Sephy is a Cross, daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country. Callum is a nought - a second-class citizen in a world run by the ruling Crosses.
