After the cunning Lawyer Wakem (Nicholas Gecks) takes over a mill owned for centuries by the Tulliver family, daughter Maggie Tulliver (Emily Watson) adds insult to injury when she falls in love with Wakem's handsome son (James Frain) -- despite the fierce opposition of her brother Tom (Ifan Meredith). This sparkling adaptation of George Eliot's beloved novel also stars Bernard Hill as Maggie's father and Lucy Whybrow as her cousin Lucy.
