About

Newcrest follows the drama-prone lives of the residents of Newcrest, a town riddled with lies and secrecy. Family empires clash over power and wealth, while others struggle to fight through their complex hardships. At the beginning of the series, a new year at Newcrest High commences for Kevin, Roxy and Noah, who each face a number of conflicts with their families and fellow classmates. Meanwhile, new girl Stacey arrives with her newly-appointed Principal mother, while keeping a devastating secret.

The Redwoods are a wealthy family who maintain their power through deceptive means - lies, blackmail and treachery allow them to keep a firm grip of power in Newcrest. The goth-like Blackwells are also rich and powerful, but never as much as the Redwoods, hence their constant jealousy of them. Other families also come into play - some power-hungry and over-ambitious, and some simply wanting a better future for the town, rid of all the lies and corruption.
