I slowly strode forward, careful not to burn myself. Smoke constantly collided against my lungs, suffocating me, but I pushed forward like the trooper I was.

Searing pain shot through my leg as I had gently rubbed against the burning couch. Multiple burning red spots appeared on my legs, but I only winced in pain, not daring to look down.

I made it into the kitchen, and above our sink was a small window. I placed my arm onto the bright red metal, hissing sounds escaping my lips from the excruciating pain, but I pushed myself up.

My hands were bright red with from pulling with all my strength to open the window. Gashes were scattered throughout my body from the various broken furniture on the ground. Innumerable burns were scattered around my body from the smoke and fire.

With the help of firefighters who assisted in pulling me out from the window, I made it acrossed the lawn towards the emergency vehicles which flashed red and blue, not too far from me...

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
