Haven
Short description
Set in the Cayman Islands, this crime drama follows several intersecting lives. One storyline centers on dishonest businessmen who flee to the islands to escape federal prosecution.

This relationship leads to a violent conflict and a crime with wide-reaching consequences for the nation.

What's left behind the scenes
- In early November 2003, Orlando Bloom joined the project as a performer and co-producer. By that time, Paxton had already been hired for the role of one of the two fraudsters, and Gabriel Byrne had been approved for the role of the second. However, the latter declined to participate in the project and was replaced by Steven Dillane.
