• Show Summary

  Living by the code his foster father taught him while growing up, Dexter channels his urges to kill only towards those who deserve to be killed, and has spent his life becoming proficient in the art of blending in with the crowd. By day, he works as a blood spatter expert for the Miami Police Department with his sister, Deborah (played by Jennifer Carpenter, who is trying to prove herself as a detective). Though he masterfully tricks most of the people around him into thinking he is normal, Dexter has to be increasingly careful about revealing his true self.
