Story Plot

Pip is an innocent boy being raised by one abusive older sister and her submissive husband out in the English countryside. But his quiet, simple life is turned upside-down by a visit to Miss Havisham, an old spinster with a dark past and an even darker present. Tormented by the cruelty of Estella, the frightening woman's adopted daughter, Pip suddenly becomes painfully aware of his social inferiority and obsessed with winning the beautiful girl's proud hand in marriage. As years go on and a mysterious personage suddenly bequeaths Pip with tremendous wealth, he becomes increasingly certain that he can now marry the girl of his dreams and leave behind his humble beginnings forever. But who exactly is his shadowy benefactor? And will life in the throngs of high society really bring him the joy he has been longing for?
