Based on Shannon Hale's novel of the same name--the story centers on a single, thirtysomething woman with a secret obsession with Colin Firth's performance of Mr. Darcy in the 90's mini-series adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice". The obsession is ruining her love life because no real man can compare, so she decides to spend her life savings on a trip to an English resort catering to Jane Austen crazed women. Her fantasy of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman becomes more real than she could have imagined.
