Ten weeks have passed since the end of New Blood, and that's when Dexter: Resurrection begins. Dexter is back, this time in New York City, and he wants to get back in touch with his son Harrison. But his past comes back to haunt him quickly. Harrison kills someone while working at a fancy hotel, which puts them both in more danger.
Detective Claudette Wallace starts to look into the case, and Angel Batista comes back with ideas about Dexter's time as the Bay Harbor Butcher. Dexter is haunted by people from the past, such as Harry, Doakes, Miguel Prado, and Trinity. They all push him to do one thing: protect Harrison no matter what.
Dexter Morgan kills his first person, the "Imposter," as he moves to a city full of new threats. At the same time, Harrison is still dealing with the effects of his first murder. Charley, played by Uma Thurman, seems to be part of a secret group of serial killers. There is more darkness between Dexter and Harrison as Batista gets closer and more killers are set free.
