Project Detail

Sourhaven

Synopsis

The arrival of a mysterious stranger at an old allotment on the fringes of London triggers a chain of strange events and uncanny rituals that upend the lives of its tightly knit community.

Aiden Salter, a reclusive nature writer with a debilitating personality disorder, spends his days sealed inside his council-block bedsit, obsessively watching the allotment community below — the only family he has.

Down on the plots, canalboat dwellers Alvie, Rayna, Shay and David cling to each other on the forgotten edge of London’s Lea Valley. Each night, a shared terror gnaws at them, haunting dreams that blur the line between sleep and something far darker.

When Aiden finally steps into their world, the allotment is already under threat: a vanished Ukrainian boy, a plot-holder’s horrific suicide and police preparing to shutter the gardens within days. All signs begin to point toward Aiden…and to Elsie Bierce, a notorious American occult publisher drawn to the site like a moth to flame.

As ‘Ourhaven’, branded “Sourhaven” by local tabloids, faces closure, it also readies to unearth it’s most diabolical secret.
