His crime is writing and circulating four articles taking an extreme contrarian view that humankind is suffering from 'progeria', the rarest of rare diseases known to medical science. In his defense before the court of justice, he says- I sincerely desired to infuse the real meaning of 'living' in the psyche of mankind so that they may battle out the death inflicted by this metaphysical ailment I conveniently call 'Progeria'. I haven't committed any crime in doing so by expressing my conviction, cautioning and alerting the commoners to take notice. It is up to them to take notice, realize and act or ignore the warning This novel depicts the very cause that has led mankind to this lethal metaphysical ailment, the author termed as 'metaphysical progeria'. The author has also ventured to present a possible remedy, who only the rarest of the rare may chance to put into application. He does this by taking readers on a short journey aboard a train, a perfect analogy for the journey of life as passengers seems ever waiting for the next, an assumed time, projecting data internalized from dead past. The author dares to write an obituary of the metaphysical demise of mankind, unravelling how he arrives at this conclusion. The author believes, however, that those who choose themselves still have a chance to rise from their metaphysical graves.
