Anne Elliot lives at Kellynch Hall with her two sisters and vain father Sir Walter.

When financial struggles begin to affect the Elliot family, they decide to move to Bath.

Anne decides to visit before the move, and runs into many old friends.

Most surprisingly she is reunited with Fredrick Wentworth, a past fiance who under advice from her father and friend Lady Russell never married.

Wentworth's lack of wealth and rank in the community were their main concerns and therefore eight years later Anne is still unmarried with little romantic prospects.

However, through her journey and move Anne may find that what she has been looking for was right in front of her the whole time.
