What Is The Haven About?
The premise of The Haven without spoilers.
After a drive‑by kills his partner and he’s blamed, detective Jacques Laniel quits the force and starts a private investigation. He finds author Zachary Osborne dead, hired by the professor’s wife, and uncovers a shady land deal that turned a crumbling rectory into the Haven of the Monsters, a half‑way house for lightly sentenced murderers. Flashbacks reveal the inmates’ crimes, giving the film a surreal, David Lynch‑like tone.
