Newcomer Ruth Wilson (Jane Eyre) and Toby Stephens (Edward Rochester) head up an all-star cast in a passionate drama.
After a wretched childhood as an orphan, Jane Eyre yearns for new experiences. Accepting a governess position at Thornfield Hall, she tutors a lively French girl. She soon finds herself falling in love with the intimidating owner of Thornfield; the dark and impassioned Mr Rochester. As Jane gradually wins his heart they seem set to become man and wife, only for the past to reveal itself in the most shocking way possible...
