The Panthers controlled the streets. The Neos grew to challenge that power. All was black and white - black V white - until The Mongrels. Michael Chantrill, a young mixed-race man of 20, who once dreamt of leaving south London and its racially motivated gang problem behind, becomes engulfed in the middle of a race war. His newly gained mixed-race group of friends named, by themselves, as the Mulatto Mongrels want no part of the gang lifestyle surrounding them and are together for safety above all else. When that safety is shattered after one of their members is knifed to death, they come out fighting. Once involved in the gang violence can Michael get out? Does he even want out? This is a story of youth, race, power, confusion, revenge and ultimately pride.
