| Summary |
Pip is a poor orphan whose life is changed forever by two very different meetings - one with an escaped convict and the other with an eccentric old lady and the beautiful girl who lives with her. And who is the mysterious person who leaves him a fortune? |
| Young orphan Pip (Irvine) is given a chance to rise from his humble beginnings thanks to a mysterious benefactor. Moving through London's class ridden world as a gentleman, Pip uses his new found position to pursue the beautiful Estella (Granger); a spoilt heiress he's loved since childhood. Yet the schocking truth behind his great fortune will have devastating ramifications for everything he holds dear. |
