Sam Tuan, Jihye Park, Marcus de Luca, Solita Marques, and James Eastman were five teenagers who, under normal circumstances, probably wouldn't even acknowledge the existence of one another. James is a star player on the high school football team, Sam was nominated for valedictorian of his senior class, and Marcus is an in-the-closet gay with a dangerously low self-esteem. Solita is one to get into a lot of fights, and Jihye is a small, quiet girl with limited English who tended to keep to herself. 

However, these are not normal circumstances. 

The five are kidnapped and taken to an insane asylum overrun by escaped patients. All that is left of the doctors and guards are splatters of blood and lifeless bodies thrown about, mutilated in ways beyond imagination. The teenagers have to learn to get along quickly if they are to survive, and every decision they make can be the deciding factor between life and death.

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.
