Dexter stalks his latest victim: A man so vile he could only be a used car salesman. But Dexter finds the man’s smooth talking charm and effortless lying something he lacks these days. In fact, Dexter’s inability to lie to Rita about his midnight activities has caused her to think he is a drug addict and forced him into Narcotics Anonymous where everyone wants him to share confessions of his troubled past.

While pretending to be a drug addict, Dexter gets an N.A. sponsor to please Rita. But when the sponsor turns out to be a beautiful woman who may have more in common with Dexter, Rita is not happy. Things get worse for Rita when her estranged mother comes for a visit. Meanwhile, Dexter must find a way to lead the all-too-smart FBI Agent Lundy, now working with Miami Metro PD, off his trail.

Dexter discovers that the man who murdered his mother is still alive.

Dexter is none too pleased to discover a copy-cat killer has started his own attempt at vigilante serial murder in Miami. He is even less pleased to learn the new killer claims to be inspired by the “Bay Harbor Butcher.”

A written manifesto from the “Bay Harbor Butcher” sends the Special Task Force in charge of capturing the killer into chaos. All part of Dexter’s plan as he tries to be more “pro-active” in keeping Agent Lundy off his tail. But things start to spiral downward for Dexter as Lila’s influence begins to take its toll on Dexter’s personal life.
