Synopsis of Dexter

Dexter Morgan is a blood spatter pattern analyst with the Miami Police Department. By day he helps solve crimes with scientific precision, and at home he is a faithful boyfriend, a loving stepfather and a brother you can count on. But beneath that routine lurks a psychopath who, when his shift ends, goes out hunting criminals who have slipped through the cracks of justice. His adoptive father, Detective Harry Morgan, senses his tendencies from childhood and teaches him to channel them with strict rules: kill only those the system has failed to punish. Created by James Manos Jr. and aired on Showtime, the series follows Dexter as he tries to keep his secret hidden. Michael C. Hall plays the lead role.
