Left penniless after their father's death, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood face an uncertain future. They need to marry well if they are to retain their comfortable existence, but as Marianne's impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo, so does Elinor's sensitivity to social conventions lead her to conceal her own romantic ambitions.

With a number of possible suitors - the intelligent and charming Mr. Edward Ferrars, the handsome Mr. John Willoughby and the more thoughtful and compassionate Colonel Brandon - they seem to have their share of options. But are they all they appear and can the sisters find happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love?
