My hands were tied down. 

That was the first thing I noticed when I finally came to, blinking against the dim lighting of the decrepit, rotting room I was in. I was sitting in a wooden chair with my hands tied to its arms, the cord slicing into the flesh of my wrist with each movement I made. Terror flooded through my veins, and I bit my lip against the whimper that threatened to escape from the back of my throat.

"My legs," I thought. "Maybe I can move my legs."

So I tried. I tried to kick my legs out from under me, but the immediate strain and pain I felt told me they were just as restrained as my hands, 

"No," I whispered

I was their next participant, and there was nothing I could do to stop them.

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.
