Dexter's life seems to be going well. His relationship with Rita and her kids is back on track. He's no longer under scrutiny at his day job as a blood splatter analyst for Miami Metro Homicide and his night job as a serial killer is operating on all cylinders. So when he sets his sights on Freebo, a dope dealer and killer, it looks to be just another night of Dexter's dark justice. But things don't go as planned and Dexter must find a way to extract himself from a pair of problems that he created, both in his home and night life.
