One thing is standing in Tess’s way-well, one very tall, annoyingly handsome person, actually: Hugh Balfour. A serious British method actor, Hugh wants nothing to do with Tess (whose Teen Choice Awards somehow don’t quite compare to his BAFTA nominations). Hugh is a type-A, no-nonsense, Royal Academy prodigy, whereas Tess is big-hearted, a little reckless, and admittedly, kind of a mess. When an electrical accident sends the two feuding co-stars back in time to Jane Austen’s era, with only each other to rely on, Tess and Hugh need to ad-lib their way through the Regency period in order to make it back home. But if a certain someone looks particularly dashing in those 19th century breeches.well, Tess won’t be complaining.
