Created by Simon Donald
On Sky Atlantic
A Nordic noir mystery set in an Arctic town where the arrival of violence into a place of perfect safety unravels both the community and the nature of the threat itself.
Fortitude is a place like nowhere else. Although surrounded by the savage beauty of the Arctic landscape, Fortitude is one of the safest towns on earth. There has never been a violent crime here. Until now. In such a close-knit community a murder touches everyone and the unsettling, mysterious horror of this crime threatens the future of the town itself.
