In 1890, a while after Jane has died, her sister Cassandra races to see her
young friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father’s
death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help her friend, but her real motive
is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy
Jane’s reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is
transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy and Jane
as they navigate the infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which
shaped their lives and laid the foundations for Jane’s unforgettable stories.
As Cassandra re-evaluates her past, she eventually realizes how blind she
has been to the real cause of Isabella’s heartache and distress. As she dedicates
to guide Isabella towards true happiness, Cassandra is finally able to
understand and celebrate the sacrifices she made for her sister, Jane.
