Episode 1, titled 'Cold Snap', sets the scene in its Upstate New York location, where Dexter has adapted to his new way of life and has become a beloved member of the community.

However, it won't be long before things start to prove difficult for Dexter as he attempts to suppress the instincts of the 'dark passenger' as "a local hotshot begins to behave recklessly, and a mysterious stranger seems to be on Dexter's trail".

Setting up his new life in a quiet, small town, Dexter's murderous tendencies have remained dormant. In a relationship with the town's chief of police, Angela Bishop (portrayed by Julia Jones), is Dexter flying far too close to the sun? With a string of missing children risking the awakening Dexter's darker side, it seems like a possibility.
