When Elinor and Marianne Dashwood's father dies, they are forced to leave their home behind and move far away to a tiny cottage. Their lives look set to change forever, in ways neither had expected.

The sisters will need each other's support if they are to find happiness, but will they ever find the right balance of sense and sensibility?
