As Sharon walks home from the movies through the cemetery alone she stops beside her fathers grave that had an overturned flower vase and the single rose she placed on the grave on the day of the funeral. A hand fell upon her shoulder. It was Josh, he came to apologize for the fight they had right before the movie ended.
They heard a young woman singing and then she screamed. They looked everywhere and couldn't find her. Something grabbed Josh's leg and dragged him into a shallow grave. Before Sharon could start to dig something slammed against her head and she fell unconscious and when she woke three days later she read the news paper article and they found Josh dead with three scratch marks across his neck. When she got to the bottom of the paper she realized the police blamed her. Something wasn't right. Scratches started to appear on her arm and blood started flowing out of them. When the nurse came in she found Sharon dead with the same three scratch marks upon her neck.

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.
