It's 1954,
and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate
the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe
Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal
reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought
there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical
treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister.
Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but
the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the
case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland,
more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling,
improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his
memory, his partner, even his own sanity.
