When Inspector Ho (the detecive curently in charge of the case) runs out
of leads, he decides to recruit his former boss - once a respected criminal
profiler, now considered insane - to give him a hand.
Both directors
have enjoyed years of trememendous success [Wai's FALLEN

but at one time they worked together on a series of high profile films
