1840s, Haworth, West Yorkshire.
In a gloomy parsonage, around which the wind almost perpetually howls, Charlotte, Anne and Emily Brontë light up their coffin-like world with their hopes, aspirations and outspoken attitudes – and a fierce desire to leave their mark on the world. But can they escape the tyrannical hold their drunk and disorderly brother Branwell exerts over them?
