Lake County is a small town in the remote areas of Illinois, but this town has a creepy history. Since 1850 the towns children have been kidnapped and otherwise never seen again, while the parents are brutality murdered, no one has been linked to the crimes since the start of the first murder. Until a 5 year old is reported missing by his father, who was at work when the initial crime was committed, came home and saw  his wife stabed several times in the chest and one of his twin son's missing. Then 5 hours of the child being missing, when he was found walking near a gas station covered in his own mother's blood, and zero injuries. The only thing that stood out on him, which he didn't have before the abduction, was a white mask with a bloody smile that supposedly belonged to the killer.

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.
