The digital prequel “Heroes Reborn: Dark Matters” bridges the gap between the original series and “Heroes Reborn,” reintroducing viewers to the “Heroes” universe and unveiling a whole new generation of “Heroes.”

It's been five years since the public became aware of the existence of evolved humans or "EVOs" who possess incredible, supernatural abilities. In that time, the public has grown to either fear or revere EVOs. An online community forms around the rallying cry of the anonymous Hero_Truther, who seeks to humanize EVOs in the wake of lies, slander and fear mongering. Among those posting their personal stories is Phoebe Frady, who is encouraged to document her origin story by her brother, Quentin. But as Phoebe struggles to control her power, she attracts unwanted attention from a mysterious new company.

As Phoebe's power grows, she discovers that there's much more to her ability than she initially realized, but Quentin worries that it may be too much for her to handle.

After a pro-EVO demonstration at the college gets out of hand, Phoebe is arrested and forced to register in a national database. When Phoebe is approached by Harris (Clé Bennett) with a job offer at the fast-growing tech company named Renautas, it raises Quentin's suspicions.
