Shutter Island Plot Summary

Set in 1954, an upcoming US Marshal, Teddy Daniels, was assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital.  He has been wanting to do an investigation on this island for personal reasons of his own, but before long he wonders whether he has not been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors who treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy’s investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuse to let him see personal records that he suspects would break the case wide open. A hurricane then cuts off all communication with the main island, more dangerous criminals “escape” in the confusion, and the improbable clues multiply. As this goes on, Teddy begins to doubt everything – his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.
