A scientist is brutally murdered in the remote Arctic town of Fortitude and it seems as if a young boy did it. Sheriff Anderssen does his investigation as does new arrival DCI Morton (Stanley Tucci). They constantly butt heads-and the sheriff seems a bit unstable, particularly with his obsession with a young woman, Elena. Meanwhile, other people begin to act peculiarly and the cause of the murder seems to be contagious. Maybe it has something to do with the unearthed frozen Mammoth that someone found, which is slowly unthawing...
If you're a fan of TWIN PEAKS or want to see a depressing version of NORTHERN EXPOSURE devoid of any warmth or humor, then this is perfect for your viewing pleasure. The characters are weird but interesting and it has enough of a science-fiction hook to keep your interest. Highly recommended.
