Gardener of Eden is a 2007 American comedy-drama film directed by Kevin Connolly.

[2] Adam Harris, a twenty-something college dropout, returns to his hometown, the fictional "Bickleton" in New Jersey, and moves back in with his parents.

Lacking real direction in his life, Adam spends his time working at a local deli and hanging out with his equally unambitious friends.

Adam's life changes dramatically when he accidentally captures a serial rapist named Richard Pope who has just attacked a local girl, Mona Hukley.

[2] In a review for The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Scheck praised the film's "resolute strangeness and darkness" and Haas's "memorably quirky performance", but suggested that it "lacks the necessary dramatic urgency or black humor to connect with audiences".
