Synopsis: The Coen Brothers Best Picture Oscar Nominee transforms into the season's most talked about TV debut. Fargo features a new "true crime" story and new characters... all chilled in the trademark dry wit, murderous mayhem and "Minnesota nice" of the original classic film. Oscar Winner Billy Bob Thornton stars a Lorne Malvo, a manipulative master criminal who changes the life of insurance salesmen Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman). Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks) and Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) are the small-town police officers who join forces to uncover Lester's secrets and stop the relentlessly destructive Malvo.
