Walking along the road, the streetlights light was illuminating little spots of the sidewalk, leaving the rest of the world as dark and mysterious as could be. Suddenly, I heard it, a loud rustling in a nearby bush. Stopping dead in my tracks I spun around and looked around fearfully. What was it? I don’t know. I saw something shiny in the bush but it quickly disappeared into the night. I saw a figure quickly run and disappear into the night as well, I could only see the bodies outline. No details.
I started running, breathing heavily in fear. I could hear heavy footsteps behind me, at times I could even hear something heavy dragging or hitting against the ground. It was a sound that not even a serial killer would want to hear when they were going home in the middle of the night.
I ran as fast as I could, dodging benches in my way. I almost reached my street but I tripped over a beer bottle. Lying there, I could hear the mysterious person coming closer and close, dragging whatever it was they had behind them on the cement.
Frozen in complete fear I didn’t move. I couldn’t even think.

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.
