"I was just starting my life! There was so much I wanted to do and that has been robbed from me so don't tell me to calm down," I seethe with my fists clutched closely by my sides.

"You're always the one to complain when someone tells it to you straight. Get the hell over it! We've all lost everything and all you're worried about is god damn art school!" He screams in my face. His breathing is staggered and he turns to walk away.

"You're wrong," I whisper, turning away to do the same.

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.
