Eight years ago, Anne Elliot was in love with a young naval officer. But they were young, Wentworth was poor, and there was a war on – so Anne was persuaded by her family to end the engagement. She has bitterly regretted it ever since.

Anne now lives a painfully silent life with a family that doesn’t appreciate her, and Wentworth has returned home wealthy and thriving. In classic Austen fashion, the two must overcome his resentment, her regrets, and a wide cast of absurd characters standing between them. This new adaptation combines period restraint with a contemporary sensibility to tell a heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally bittersweet story about regrets, growing older, and second chances.
