Kline, a former policeman, performs an order of a mysterious billionaire and goes to the Philippines and to Hong Kong to find Shitao, a rich man’s son. The young man is a healer. He removes people’s pain by taking it to himself. His way of healing others is a way of personal suffering. And Kline’s way to Shitao is also a way of suffering. The detective himself needs healing: a hunt for a serial killer Hasford opened a world of both ugly and beauty to him, the world where pain becomes an embodiment of beauty. And he goes to the East, to a mystical journey, becoming similar to heroes of Monkey King, an Eastern epic. He goes like an epic hero; neither evil, nor beauty which reign around him concerns the wanderer. He looks for Shitao, he looks for his Wisdom.
