The story: In 19th-century Northern England, Wuthering Heights author Emily Bronte (Emma Mackey) chafes against the expectations of her widowed vicar father (Adrian Dunbar). She yearns for freedom, running in the moorland – and rolling in the hay with sexy new curate William Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who is captivated by her independence in spite of himself.
