17th of March, 1998. A child by the name Issac is reported into a hospital by his parents after a black lump appeared on his arm, and two months later, in the middle of a public park, his body is shredded to pieces after 'tentacles' ruptured from his body. 

19th of December, 1999. About one and a half years after the incident, his parents find a journal hidden under his mattress, that is covered in a black layer of liquid. They hand it in to the police, but as they exit, they simultaneously have heart attacks and fall to the ground, and coincidentally, a few minutes later, everyone in the building vanishes without a trace.

The journal was immediately confiscated by an unknown organization, and locked up so that no one could ever touch it again. And with the journal, the truth behind the 'death' of Issac was never discovered- until today, that is.

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.
