It's early 20th-century England and Angelica Deverell (Romola Garai, Emma, Atonement, I Capture the Castle), the headstrong daughter of a grocer, fantasizes about living in Paradise House, the most sumptuous mansion in her otherwise dreary town, and sets out to achieve her dream life. Angel has always kept a journal of her musings, and out of her wildly romantic visions, she concocts an over-the-top melodramatic novel. She interests a London publisher (Sam Neill, The Tudors, Jurassic Park) in her book, and he manages to turn it into a bestseller - making young Angel the talk of London.
