## Summary

Dexter: Resurrection’s first season revealed that Dexter Morgan survived being shot by his son, Harrison, and travelled to New York to find him. The season renewed the franchise by shifting the focus towards Dexter’s attempt to protect Harrison from following his violent example, while drawing them into a circle of killers led by billionaire Leon Prater.

Harrison had fled to New York, but killed a man who sexually assaulted someone and began disposing of the body using methods he had learnt from Dexter. Dexter infiltrated Prater’s gatherings and killed several of the invited serial killers; the Rapunzel Killer escaped. Prater captured Dexter’s former friend Angel Batista and killed him after Dexter refused to do so. The finale leaves Harrison pursuing a career in law enforcement, Prater’s assistant Charley facing an uncertain future, and Dexter changed by his love for his son.
