Catherine Morland, seventeen and raised in rural Wiltshire on true crime podcasts and Gothic fiction, is invited to stay with the wealthy, strange Tilney family at Northanger, their renovated country estate.

Henry Tilney, his witty, infuriating younger son, keeps gently correcting her theories, which would be more useful if he were also being entirely honest about his own family.
