Scifi drama series. As a total eclipse casts its shadow across the
globe, a genetics professor in India is led by father’s disappearance
to uncover a secret theory -- there are people with super powers living
among us. A young dreamer tries to convince his politician brother that
he can fly. A high school cheerleader learns that she is totally
indestructible. A Las Vegas stripper, struggling to make ends meet to
support her young son, discovers that her mirror image has a secret. A
fugitive from justice continues to baffle authorities who twice have
been unable to contain him. A gifted artist, whose drug addiction is
destroying his life and relationship with his girlfriend, can paint the
future. A down-on-his-luck Los Angeles beat cop can hear people’s
thoughts, which puts him on the trail of an elusive serial killer. In
Japan, a young man develops a way to stop time through sheer will
power. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…
As the series
progresses the heroes uncover a larger picture concerning their
superpowers' origins. The characters become involved in each other's
lives as they attempt to evade the series' antagonist, Sylar, who is
tracking and killing super-powered humans.
The show has
attracted huge audiences since the start, the show has quite a unique
writing format with each hero having their own writer and then their
scenes being combined by an overall editor. Like the series Lost there
are strange elements that re-occur throughout the episodes, specifically
a strange RNA molecule like symbol which is seen several times in each
episode.
