Charming, passionate, totally irresponsible young novelist Werther (Douglas Booth) is sent to the city on an errand by his mother. By chance, he meets lovely Charlotte (Alison Pill), and her allure and commitment to her impressive, stable fiancé Albert (Patrick J. Adams) turn Werther’s life upside down. The more entwined this trio becomes, the harder it is to navigate the complexities of lust, love, and friendship. A modern take on Goethe’s smash hit 18th century novel of tragic romance.
