A city built of the finest the world had to offer sits high atop a hill, surrounded by layers of concrete and brick. Its aura is almost divine as those unworthy stare up at her majesty. Naturally, even the purest of mankind's creations will be corrupted by the very hands that created. Deceit, deception, and exploitation are built into the human mind at this point, it's in our nature to be the worst we can be. In this city, morals are an after-thought as people reach for what they think will make them happiest.

In this city, a boy and his sibling slowly figure out how to escape with what little sanity they have left. In this city, something outside their control grips the city in a tight grip, allowing the darkness to slip and slither out of the dark. In this city, something is terribly wrong.

In this city, it's up to you to look out for you and anyone you care about. After all, who knows who's watching?

The Hound

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.
