In Jane Austen's gentle parody of gothic fiction, romance addict Catherine Morland (Felicity Jones) is invited to a medieval country house that appeals to her most lurid fantasies. There, she forms a close friendship with the younger son on the estate, Henry Tilney (JJ Feild), but their budding romance is mysteriously cut short.
