Flynyddoedd yn ddiweddarach, mae dau blentyn amddifad yn darganfod fod eu ffawd wedi eu plethu â’i gilydd, ac nad yw’r Rhyfel Brad erioed wedi dod i ben ... a rhaid iddyn nhw ddarganfod cyfrinach pwy sydd yn bygwth eu byd mewn gwirionedd.

Ond pan fo Diana yn clywed bod ei mam wedi marw, mae’n gofyn i’w hanner chwarae a’i mab naw mlwydd oed ddod i aros. Noson yr angladd, mae’r chwiorydd yn ffraeo, mae bywyd Diana yn dechrau chwalu ac mae’r celwyddau’n dod i’r wyneb.
