In the desolate and mysterious region of Cornwall, stands Jamaica Inn, a solitary inn with a dark past. Mary Yellan, after the death of her mother, is forced to move to this disturbing place to live with her aunt Patience and her dominant husband, Joss Merlyn. As Mary delves into life at Jamaica Inn, she discovers sinister secrets and becomes entangled in a web of crime and danger. The oppressive atmosphere of the inn and her uncle's shady dealings lead her to question everything and fight for her own survival in the midst of a hostile and threatening environment.
