Every ten years in the world there is a ritual that happens. All the orphans in the country are rounded up and put in one area. Then they are broadcasted on live television to all the homes. What the objective of this is, is that parents and/or adults around the country can decide if they want to adopt a child based on what ones are in the home. If they choose one, that child is taken away and given to the buyers. The child is then owned for 10 years, under contract. Any time excessive is optional. Once the child is 18, and has finished their contract, they are free to live as they wish.

What happens when 17 year old Audra Codair is entered in the house, after the first time only barely escaping alive? Read to find out!

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.
