Justin's back, and wants to put the past behind him. Corey's a footy hero and high-school dropout who can't even find work picking fruit. Tara wants to be loved. But if her mother doesn't care, why would anyone else? Margo wants out, and she has a plan to get there. Plans change.... Life happens. Some secrets won't stay buried. Peace isn't as simple as laying bones to rest. 'The Centre of My Everything drives a stake through the heart of teen binge-drinking culture and generational racism.
