Eleven-year-old Yuval lives in a "meticulously crafted universe" of silver tracks and miniature stations. For him, trains are more than a hobby; they are a sanctuary of order. But when a spectral Conductor appears, making "spectral pronouncements" about passengers who never arrive, Yuval's sanctuary becomes a "harrowing" trap. To get his life back on track, Yuval must realize that the Conductor isn't a ghost from the past, but a "symbolic" manifestation of his own inner turmoil.
