Noughts & Crosses series takes place in an alternate 21st-century Britain in which whites and blacks are segregated following centuries in which Africans had a technological and infrastructural superiority over Europeans who they made their slaves.
The series will chart the forbidden love story between 'Cross' Sephy, a member of the black ruling class and daughter of a prominent politician, and 'Nought' Callum, a white member of the underclass.
