Orphaned and mistreated, Jane Eyre has never known love. In the bleak landscape of 19th-century England, she struggles to find her purpose - and somewhere to belong. After years at boarding school, her path leads her to the mysterious Thornfield Hall, where she takes a position as a governess.
There, she meets the dark and enigmatic Mr. Rochester, and what begins as a curious acquaintanceship soon blossoms into a love charged with passion and peril. But Thornfield and its brooding master hide deep secrets that will divide her loyalty and place Jane in an impossible position. Will she surrender, or will she be true to herself, no matter the cost?
