Gentleman Jack plot
In 1832, after a long period of travelling, studying and climbing the social ladder, Anne Lister returns to Shibden Hall, her ancestral home in West Yorkshire. To restore Shibden Hall to its former glory, Anne must reopen her coal mines and get married. The charismatic and purposeful Anne Lister - who has dressed her head in black and enjoyed her way to the higher realms - has no intention of marrying a man. True to her own nature, she plans to marry a woman. And not just any woman: The woman Anne Lister marries must be seriously rich.
