Their find immediately puts them in grave danger, pursued by corrupt police officers who will kill to retrieve it. With the help of a sympathetic teacher, the boys embark on a perilous journey to uncover the secret behind the key, which points to a vast political conspiracy and evidence of high-level injustice.
