When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, his adoptive father Harry helps him channel his inner darkness. Harry helps him design a special Code to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. However, this becomes a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
