Yn Colombo, 1990, mae ffotograffydd rhyfel, gablwr a dyn hoyw Maali Almeida yn deffro yn fath o burdan, heb unrhyw syniad pwy sydd wedi ei ladd (ac mae’r rhestr o bosibiliadau yn hir). Ond, er ei fod wedi marw, does dim llawer o amser gyda Maali i gwblhau tasg: i arwain y bobl mae’n ei garu tuag at gasgliad o luniau a bydd yn cynhyrfu Sri Lanka gyfan.
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him.
At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
