In 1832, Anne Lister, a charismatic and determined landowner, returns to her ancestral home in West Yorkshire, England, after years of traveling and climbing the social ladder. Her goal is to restore Shibden Hall to its former glory by reopening the coal mines and marrying well. However, Anne has no intention of marrying a man.

Based on a true story, this HBO series follows Anne's journey as she navigates love, family, and business in a society that does not accept her sexuality.
