Sam McCartney is a little 8 year old girl. She and her family lived in a normal house, in a normal neighborhood, in a normal town. It was her 5th birthday when her grandfather gave her a small wooden cat. He carved it to perfection because he knew that Sam was perfect just the way she was. Sam named her perfect little cat Ginger, for it's color was a light orange tone. At night, she always put Ginger inside an old tissue box with some of her mother's sewing fabrics and cotton balls she got from school. When Sam woke up, she would bring him to the table for breakfast. When she went to school, she would put him in her desk so he would be with her at all times. Sam spent her life with that wooden cat, but one day, on the 21st of May, she found her cat to be covered in black ink. What happened? Sam wondered to herself.

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.
