It's during the early morning when Rose King's phone begins to ring. On the other end, an unreconizable voice seemly asking for help. Rose dismisses the call as nothing but what she doesn't that her sister, Ivy, was the voice begging for help as a man with sinister plans kidnapped for her home. Now Rose must sets out on a journey to find her sister and maybe something else along the way.
Ivy King is just trying to stay alive with a strange man and his house of horrors but is is it all a show put on by a disturbed ringleader or a confused puppet? 
Ian Holt was just following orders when he had taken Ivy from her bed but now he may have gotten more than he had bargained for.

The Hound

65 parts Complete

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.
