Triveni wakes up in a hospital bed with no memories of her previous life. On talking to the doctor , she realises that she had been a coma patient there for 6 whole months . 
And also that a person's life is not as priceless as people claim it to be -cue , the enormous price of the hospital bills. 
And who paid the huge price for her? A brother she could not remember - who seemed to be heavily diassapointed in her for some reason . But no one seems to want to tell her the why she had been admitted in the first place...

Now in debt , her brother leaves for Banglore in search of work , while dropping Triveni off at a small hall- kitchen apartment in Mumbai, which seems more than familiar. The days pass by learning things for her survival - cooking, traversing to nearby stores , navigating the town , until she meets  Kusha and Lailita , two girls her same age who claim to be her childhood friends. As Triveni begins to uncover her past along with them ,she realises it was not what she had expected....

And the apartment is strange . The nights seem twice as long , and Triveni can't sleep a bit. Buzzing sounds  , echoing voices calling out her name, someone crying silently, harsh shouts, amidst the unusually quiet nights of the city. And the apartment takes her to places - ones she never wanted to visit.. There's also an old cell phone she found in the table's drawer the day she moved in , which she can't switch on. And she knows somehow  - that it contains all the things she needs to know about her past...

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.
