Miss Austen's story starts in 1830, years after Jane's death. Cassandra heads to help her late fiancé's niece Isabella (played by Rose Leslie) who's on the verge of losing her home following her father's death.
However, Cassandra has another motive for helping Isabella – she's searching for a bundle of private correspondence which she fears could destroy her younger sister Jane's reputation if the wrong person gets hold of them.
Cassandra finds the letters – and, according to the series synopsis, is "overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth".
