Ten years after Dexter went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura and faked his death in Miami, the story finds him living in the small town of Iron Lake, New York, under an assumed name. While he attempts to embrace this new life, unexpected events in the close-knit community cause his dark passenger to beckon.
