That's tight, man. Your story including inner and outer conflict in 19 words. Extremely tight.
Since you have words to spare now, maybe you could intensify with an adverb (one of my passions) such as:
'A cursed detective ? framed for murder ? needs to accept the terrifying beast within in order to uncover the true killer...'
You could even add some inner freedom, from the 'curse' as well:
A cursed detective ? framed for murder ? needs to accept the beast within to uncover the true killer...and free himself from the curse forever?
