## Synopsis

Haven (2010-2015) is a Canadian-American supernatural mystery series created by Jim Dunn and Sam Ernst for Syfy. FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) arrives in the isolated Maine town of Haven to solve a murder, and her case-of-the-week investigations are shaped by the town's many concealed secrets. Working alongside local detective Nathan Wournos (Lucas Bryant), she pushes against a community that closes ranks around its own strange afflictions. Each episode turns a new corner of the investigation while a larger serialized thread slowly reveals the connection between the town's hidden history and the buried memories of Audrey's own past. Spanning five seasons and seventy-eight episodes, the series blends procedural structure with an ongoing mythology. Its atmosphere is moody and eerie, with a foggy New England coast that feels watched and intimate, and its tone is tense yet melancholic. Fans of Twin Peaks, The X-Files and Wayward Pines will find resonance in its blend of small town dread, federal investigation and paranormal mystery, along with its focus on a protagonist searching for who she really is.
