The story happened in 1954. Federal Marshal Ted Daniel (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his new partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo) were ordered to go to the island to investigate the matter. The competent doctor Cowley received them and was responsible for assisting the investigation.
Ted came here with a secret purpose: to find the murderer who killed his wife in the fire. During the investigation, more and more evidence proved Ted's inference: in addition to the 66 mental criminals with files, there was another person with the number 67, but no matter the prison guards, doctors or other patients denied it.
