Random Passage

This award winning miniseries traces the difficult passage of young Mary Keane (Aoife McMahon) from servitude in Ireland to the squalor of rough and tumble Newfoundland in the early 1800s. Escaping attempted rape and abuse, Mary moves on with her infant daughter to find shelter at a remote fishing station run by Thomas Hutchings (Colm Meaney - Layer Cake, Kings). In a time and place where life and death are a hair's breath apart, Mary joins the community's struggle for survival against sickness and starvation. All of the Cape's people are fugitives of one kind of another, but by pulling together through hardships and tragedies, they forge a new life of hope - and even love. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)
