'You step outside, you stay outside. It won't go both ways.'
An award-winning latter-day Romeo and Juliet story, 'Breaking Rank' examines intolerance among outsiders and insiders - popular cliques and gang members - alike.
To members of the Clan - a silent, enigmatic group - the outside world of school and community matters little if at all. At seventeen, Baby has lived all his life within the Clan under the protection of his older Brother. Like the others, Baby participates only passively in school, never letting his intelligence show, until he's placed in Honours classes. If the Clan finds out he'll be expelled.
It's up to Casey to see that Baby isn't alone in his classes. But what Baby is doing threatens Clan and non-clan alike, and it isn't long before Baby's and Casey's familiar worlds are shattered.
