Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, "The Jane Austen Book Club" follows six people as they launch a book club solely dedicated to reading Jane Austen novels. Dancy plays Grigg, a sci-fi bookworm looking to broaden his literary perspective. However, his attendance is more largely due to the fact that Jocelyn, one of the club founders, is trying to set Grigg up with Sylvia, a fellow member. But Grigg isn't attracted to Sylvia, he's more interested in Jocelyn.
