Steal this idea - The Tibetan Terror

After his wife and child die in an accident, listless Lead Detective Cho Ming is reassigned to Lhasa, Tibet from Beijing. Part Tibetan, he seems like the perfect candidate for "revitalization" in his ancestral land. However, a series of brutal murders shortly after his arrival forces him to put aside his grief and use his considerable investigatory talents. Investigating the murders puts him at odds with locals, who view him as an outsider, the party, which wants a political solution, and his superior, who think that Ming may be the cause of the murders. Soon Ming starts to think that his family's murder wasn't an accident, and that time is running out for him.
