Rejettant les conventions sociales de l'Angleterre du XIXe siècle, Anne Lister fait le choix de retourner à Shibden Hall, le domaine rural du West Yorkshire qui appartient à sa famille. Là, elle réalise que personne ne gère vraiment les terres. Elle retrousse ses manches pour relancer l'exploitation. Bourgeois et métayers des environs n'apprécient guère de voir une femme assumer de telles responsabilités. Surtout que le sous-sol de Shibden Hall regorge de charbon. Parallèlement, Anne Lister s'enflamme pour une riche jeune femme dont la beauté la trouble. Une première saison aussi fidèle que possible au parcours de cette figure LGBT qui incarne l'anti-Bovary britannique.
