Young, somewhat naive, but charming Miss Catherine Morland is fascinated by Gothic novels. When she meets new friends and is invited by them to the old Northanger Abbey, she hopes to uncover some long-unexplained mystery and have an adventure. However, she finds something completely different... Something she secretly dreamed of.
