Along with his loyal partner, John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), Cross is determined to bring justice before more lives are lost.

The supernatural fog brings with it a series of terrifying incidents that test the crew’s endurance and loyalty. Alliances are formed, betrayals emerge, and lives are imperiled as they must battle the fog and their inner demons. Season two sees the crew in a secret offshore facility called Stac, hidden deep in the unforgiving Arctic Circle.
