A young woman named Rachel survives as a scavenger in a ruined, dangerous city of the near future. The city is littered with discarded experiments from the Company — a bio-tech firm now seemingly derelict.

The biopic will follow the Bronte sisters and their brother Branwell who grew up in isolation on the Yorkshire moors and went on to write some of the most enduring novels in English literature -- Charlotte's "Jane Eyre", Emily's "Wuthering Heights" and Anne's "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall". As children, they created epic fantasy worlds to entertain themselves, led by the charismatic Branwell, but when he descended into alcohol and opium abuse, the sisters had to find their own way in a world dominated by strict patriarchal conventions. This initially forced them to disguise their identities by publishing under male pseudonyms.

Relationships begin to unravel as Rose gets impatient with Albert, and the jealous Hugo knocks Conrad out cold during the televised kiss.
