He'll charm fellow officers with doughnuts, spend a Sunday doting on his young son, Harrison, or chop up a victim and toss the parts off the side of his boat. Hiding beneath the mundane exterior of Dexter, a seemingly shy blood spatter expert for the Miami police, is an obsession with meting out his own twisted brand of justice. Dexter's father Harry insists no one ever learn the truth about his 'Dark Passenger,' but all that's about to change, after his adopted sister Debra catches her big brother in the act.
