Synopsis: It's 1954, and
up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) is assigned to
investigate the disappearance of a patient from Shutter Island's
Ashecliffe Hospital. He'd been gunning for an assignment on the
island for reasons of his own—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 code-breaking 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 proliferate,
Teddy begins to doubt everything—his memory, his partner, even his
own sanity. (Tribute.ca)
