Random Passage
Random Passage tells a tale of love and survival. It is the story of a woman whose one true commitment is to life itself in a place and time where life and death are a hair's breath apart. Set in the early 1800s, the serie traces the incredible journey of Mary Bundle from the workhouses of England to the squalor of rough-and-tumble St. John's. After being banished by her employer following an atteemped rape, and later abandoned by the father of her child, Mary moves on, along with her infant daughter, to the comparative shelter offered in the remote outport of Cape Random, Newfoundland. There she encounters a rich tapestry of challanging situations and fascinating characters. Interwoven through the tale are the dramas of exiled people: the Andrews family, forced to sail from England when Ned Andrews is unjustly accused of stealing cod from his employer; and Thomas Hutchings, who fled from Ireland after killing a wealthy landowner, and now oversees the local fishing station. Together, they are determined to carve a community for themselves out of a harsh environment. All of the Capes's people are fugitives of one kind or another. Some will change Mary's life utterly.
