Düstere Geheimnisse umgeben das berüchtigte Jamaica Inn, das einsam im Moor von Cornwall liegt. Dorthin verschlägt es die junge Waise Mary nach dem Tod ihrer Mutter. Bei ihrer Tante Patience und ihrem Onkel Joss soll sie ein neues Zuhause finden. Doch das Gasthaus nahe der zerklüfteten, sturmgepeitschten Küste beherbergt dunkle Gestalten, die üblen Geschäften nachgehen – und ihr Anführer scheint Marys Onkel zu sein. Mehr und mehr wird Mary in die Machenschaften der Männer verstrickt und gerät in Lebensgefahr. Welches undurchsichtige Spiel treibt dabei Joss‘ jüngerer Bruder Jem, in den Mary sich verliebt hat?
