An epic tale of love and survival.
In this television mini-series, a young Irish servant girl travels to Newfoundland in an attempt to build a new life for herself and her infant daughter in director John. M. Smith’s Gemini Award-winning miniseries. Mary Keane (Aoife McMahon) is a humble servant who has been abused her entire life, but she’s determined that her young daughter will not suffer the same grim fate. Now, after departing from their native Ireland, Mary and her daughter wind up at an isolated fishing station run by benevolent soul Thomas Hutchings (Colm Meany). But sickness and starvation run rampant in this harsh environment. Perhaps if all of the fugitives and lost souls who have wound up in this unforgiving no man’s land can band together and make it through the hard times, there will finally be hope for the future. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
