The story begins at Longbourn where Elizabeth, Jane and their father now live quietly after the rest of the family are killed in a carriage accident. Mr. Bennet spends his days staring vacantly out the window, while his two remaining daughters run the estate. Then one day Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley return to pay their condolences.
Elizabeth vacillates between regret at how callously she treated Darcy during his proposal, and anger over how he insulted her family even as he declared his love. Jane, on the other hand, is more realistic in her views of people but is uncertain if she can risk giving her heart away again. Darcy tries valiantly to be more amiable to everyone in the neighborhood, while Bingley attempts to show Jane his newfound strength and ability to resist his sister's machinations. Caroline Bingley also returns and attempts to turn her brother away from Jane, while Wickham comes back with the regiment and becomes angry that Elizabeth no longer believes his lies. Mr. Bennet finally starts to shed his lassitude, eventually becoming more like the father he should have been in the first place. In the midst of all of this are two young women from Plymouth, Mrs. Long's nieces, who feel that they now hold the hearts of the two gentlemen.
This P&P variation centers on the principal characters - their struggles to change, to overcome their weaknesses, and attempt to become the best versions of themselves.
