After the death of Emile ‘Hunter’ Danko at the hands of unnamed evolved humans, one whole year comes and goes quietly. The evolved humans are allowed to live theirs lives as they want, without fear of Government repercussion, blissfully unaware that the Department of Homeland Security had gotten additional funding to now continue the containment of people with abilities. The new Pinehearst location is bigger and better, and there is a larger, stronger team of hunters, led by Danko (seemingly back from the grave) and managed by Nathan Petrelli, under the guise that he’s been working with the United State military to combat terrorism, are quietly beginning the hunt again.
