This American neo-noir, psychological thriller, tells the story of Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, two US marshals, who are sent to an asylum on a remote island to investigate the disappearance of a patient committed for murdering her two children. It is based on the 2003 novel by American writer Dennis Lehane. Lehane sought to write a novel where the main characters are in a difficult position and lacking 20th-century resources such as radio communications, to aid them in their journey. He described the novel as a hybrid of the works of the Brontë sisters and the 1956 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers and hoped that it would be an homage to Gothic settings, B movies, and pulp.

It’s 2044 and a 25-year-old Joe works for a Kansas City crime syndicate as a "looper". Since future tracking systems have made it near-impossible to dispose of bodies, the syndicate uses time travel, invented thirty years later to counteract this. Managed by a future man named Abe, loopers kill and dispose of face-concealed victims, and are paid with silver bars strapped to the target. To prevent connections to the syndicate, a looper's final victim will be his or her retired future self (they are identified by gold bars strapped to them instead of silver), ending the contract and "closing the loop".
