Anne Elliot is 29 and falling out of grace. She used to be beautiful and engaged to a poor but handsome sailor who loved her, but Anne was persuaded out of the engagement by a friend. Now the sailor has come back, a captain in the Royal Navy, and Anne is as much in love with him as ever. Captain Wentworth does not seem to feel the same, however, so Anne gives him up for a lost cause when a distant relative shows up in town with thoughts of marrying Anne. Anne then finds out that this Mr. Elliot is a scoundrel, and Captain Wentworth renews his love to Anne.
