Newt and Catharine grew up together.  Now Newt is in the army and Catharine is about to marry someone else.  Word of the wedding galvanizes Newt into action and he goes AWOL in order to see Catharine.  When Newt gets home, he convinces her to take a walk in the nearby woods as they did when they were children.  There they must decide whether this is a short walk for old-times sake, or a Long Walk to Forever.

At the dawn of the Regency, two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, are thrust into poverty by their brother's scheming and manipulative wife. Reduced to living with their mother in a tiny cottage with their prospects for marriage nearly ruined, the sisters are nevertheless courted by three dynamic men, each with a dark secret. 

The shy and awkward Edward Ferrars wins Elinor's cautious but constant heart, neglecting to tell her he is already engaged to another. Colonel Brandon desperately loves Marianne, but his former attachment to the ill-fated Eliza and his old-fashioned habits fill Marianne with mistrust and disdain. Instead, Marianne, passionate and reckless, falls head-over-heels in love with the dashing Willoughby, only to be deserted when his true character emerges. Their hearts broken, Elinor and Marianne nearly give up on love until fate intervenes. 

Based on the classic by Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility is just as appealing today as it was when it was first published in 1811.
