Summary

Thirteen-year-old, Reason Nelson, lives in the Irish-Catholic suburb of Havelock in Lincoln, Nebraska. Reason, a long-haired scrawny white kid, attends a party that is busted by the local police. As he flees, Reason collides with a black detective and a black drug dealer. During the collision, he snatches up what he believes to be his leather jacket. He drunkenly crashes through the back door of the party house and crawls into a doghouse, dragging the jacket with him.

In the aftermath of the chaos, Reason discovers he has picked up the dealer's jacket instead of his own. In the pocket of this coat, Reason finds a mysterious blue key. Only later does he find out that the key opens a safe-deposit box. The box contains the evidence of the murder of a young female informant.
