Jane is a young lady from New York who, in the BBC production of "Pride and Prejudice," plays Mr. Darcy. It's possible that her hidden fascination with Mr. Darcy is the reason Jane never seems to meet the proper guy. Colin Firth plays Jane. But Jane's dreams of meeting the ideal Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more vivid than she could have ever dreamed when a rich cousin bequeaths her a vacation to an English resort catered to Austen-obsessed ladies. Is Jane able to permanently overcome her fascination with Austen with this complete absorption in a fictitious Austenland, or may all of her fantasies lead to the possibility of meeting her real Mr. Darcy?
