Dexter Morgan appears to be the quintessential gentleman, yet beneath the facade lurks a chilling secret: he is a serial killer. However, Dexter's twisted sense of justice leads him to only target those who have skirted the law. By day, Dexter is a blood splatter expert for the Miami police, a role that allows him to select his victims with care. But Dexter's neatly managed life spirals into disarray when a string of murders uncannily resembling his own handiwork surfaces, shrouding him in a mix of flattery and fear, and the unsettling possibility that there's another killer at large.
