When the Dashwood family estate is inherited by the eldest son John, Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret must seek a new home. They relocate to a cottage in Devonshire, where they begin to adapt to their new life and social environment. Elinor soon finds herself courted by the gentlemanly Edward Ferrars, while Marianne is caught between two suitors: the brooding Colonel Brandon and the charming yet deceitful John Willoughby. The love and heartbreak they experience are influenced by the societal norms and expectations of their time.
