Loyalty. Deception. Family secrets.
Mr. Bennet has a son. Longbourn has an heir. Elizabeth is an heiress. When the master of Longbourn dies, the estate is inherited by Jonathan Bennet, the eldest son of Thomas. Alongside his sister Elizabeth, Jonathan finds himself caught in the tense household of their father's second wife, Fanny Bennet, whose bitterness towards her stepchildren leads to escalating conflicts. As Jonathan marries and the Bennet family is divided, Fanny schemes to regain control of Longbourn, determined to rid herself of the family she resents. The arrival of the Netherfield party only adds to the chaos. Amid the turmoil, Elizabeth Bennet's budding love with the aloof Mr. Darcy becomes the center of intrigue and manipulation.
