This is the story of the great, untold romance that inspired a young Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway). Willful and spirited, Jane is not ready to be tied down to anything but her writing. That is until she meets Tom Lefro (James McAvoy), a charming rogue from London who spends more time drinking and socializing than on his law studies.
