Two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, are summoned to a remote and barren island off the 
coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island's 
fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.

==========

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.  

==========

In 1954, Federal Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule, from Seattle travel to Shutter 
Island to investigate the disappearance of a patient there, Rachel Solando. She had been sectioned at 
the institution for dangerous criminals at Ashcliffe Hospital, because she drowned her three kids. 
Teddy is a veteran WWII soldier, traumatized by the war experience in the liberation of the Dachau 
concentration camp and the loss of his beloved wife in a criminal fire. Teddy is unable to access the 
records of employees and patients and feels that his investigation is obstructed by the management by 
the Federal facility. Teddy has severe migraines and when there is a storm, Teddy and Chuck find that 
they are stranded in the island. Teddy interviews the internees and follows a lead to the lighthouse, 
where he discloses the mystery about the Shutter Island.
