 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, Random Passage traces the incredible journey of Mary Bundle (played by Aoife McMahon) from the indenture in England to the squalor of rough-and-tumble St. John's. After being banished by her employer, following an attempted rape, and later being abandoned by the father of her child, Mary moves on, along with her infant daughter, to the comparative shelter of the remote outport of Cape Random, Newfoundland. There she encounters a rich tapestry of challenging situations and fascinating characters.
Interwoven throughout the tale are the dramas
 of exiled people: the Andrews family, forced to sail from England when Ned Andrews (played by Daniel Payne) is unjustly accused of stealing cod from his employer; and Thomas Hutchings (played by Colm Meaney), who fled from Ireland after killing a wealthy landowner and now overseas the local fishing station. Together, they are determined to carve a community for themselves out of a harsh environment.
All the Cape's people are fugitives of one kind or another. Some will change Mary's Life.
