A new, dark take on the beloved tale Hunchback of Notre Dame, taking place in modern day New Orleans.

Claude is a man who feels that he owes his life to Father Apep, a man who saved him twenty one years ago. Father Apep, the man who brought him to God and redeemed him of his sins, is the only person in his life until a Burlesque dancer comes to him during Mardi Gra, she looks past his malformed state and treats him like anyone else. So when dancers all across New Orleans go missing and Father Apep is the largest suspect, who will Claude choose? Will his choice be the right one?

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.
