A secret encounter at Oakham Mount, an unexpected and unknown witness, a fight that unearths dark revelations — all are instrumental in changing Elizabeth Bennet's beliefs, born from pride and tainted by prejudice, one cold November morning.

At Longbourn, the upcoming Netherfield ball is considered to be proof of Mr Bingley's admiration for Jane and is anticipated with much enthusiasm. Only the irritating presence of Mr Collins and his irksome attention ruin Elizabeth's disposition and induce her to take a walk that will change her life — as well as the lives of others.

At Netherfield, Fitzwilliam Darcy, haunted by his ardent admiration for a certain lady, plans to return to London immediately after the ball, together with Bingley's family, leaving their troubles and distress behind.

On the evening of the ball, Elizabeth's spirit is heavy with remorse, while doubts leave her undecided as to how she should proceed. As Darcy considers asking Elizabeth to stand up with him for a set — the first and last he believes he will ever dance with her — the ball is interrupted by news of a most disturbing incident which will affect the entire neighbourhood.

From that very moment, everyone's plans will be altered. Suspicions and rumours will shake the calm and complacency of the quiet and peaceful town of Meryton as well as a lot of first impressions. Events will quickly unfold, more secrets will be revealed, previous relationships will change while improbable friendships and most unanticipated alliances will form and grow.

Forced by circumstances and guided by honour, loyalty, and courage, Elizabeth and Darcy will have to act together, thus discovering themselves and each other. Will their journey ruin or strengthen their alliance? Will their partnership end in just friendship or blossom into something else entirely?
