An epic tale of love and survival.

This award winning miniseries traces the difficult passage of young Mary Bundle from servitude in Ireland to squalor of rough-and-tumble Newfoundland in the early 1800’s. Escaping attempted rape and abuse, Mary moves on with her infant daughter to find shelter at a remote fishing station run by Thomas Hutchings. In a time and place where life and death are a hair;s breadth apart, Mary joins the community’s struggle for survival against sickness and starvation. All of the Cape’s people are fugitive of one kind or another, but by pulling together through hardships and tragedies, they forge a new life of hope – and even love.
