Set in Miami in 1991, DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) journey from student to vengeful serial killer. As his violent urges become impossible to suppress, Dexter must learn to control his darker side. Under the tutelage of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), he embraces a Code aimed at identifying and eliminating those deemed worthy of death, all while evading detection by law enforcement.
