Actually, he is imagining himself dead, acting on the set of a TV pilot shooting in Miami, a role which he finds himself quite adept at, given his need to hide his Dark Passenger from everyone in his life.
The TV show stars are following Dexter and his sister Deb, trying to get insight into how the real people perform their roles on the show.
Dexter is initially paired with Robert Chase, who will be portraying a forensics assistant on the show. From their first meeting, Robert triggers something in Dexter, but he cannot work out what it is that makes his Dark passenger want to sharpen those knives.
While on the job searching for a killer that is killing and mutilating women, Jackie Forest, famous TV star is being stalked and Dexter is assigned to be his bodyguard, which places a strain on his marriage to Rita and his need to protect her two eldest children from a previous relationship from embracing their own Dark Passengers.
As they close in on the killer, Dexter realises what Robert is hiding from them is much darker than he intially figured, leading him to lose control of the situation in a most un-Dexter like way.
This isn't the TV show from Showtime, the characters are the same, but there is a darkness in the book that the show hasn't captured.
Rating 3.5/5
