A Young girl was raped and gruesomely murdered by a group of young tourists who paid a visit to a remote village deep in the heart of the Western part of Nigeria. 

Mother Patience (Iya Suru) as she was popularly known by the villagers died right before the eyes of the Deity of Death (Iku) and was buried in a shallow grave by the tourists. Right after their visit, they died one after another with their blood dried up leaving their skin pale and routine. For generations, their lineages suffered the same fate of dying younger than they should. Iya Suru would take her pound of flesh on the offsprings and anyone who had close ties with them. 
Their young ones would suffer and die for a crime they never committed, this went on from generation to generation. 
The curse of Ikù (the god of death) would hunt them through the spirit of the young girl they murdered. 

These unusual happenings caused their young ones to seek for answers, and a curse was revealed, a curse laid on their ancestors, through their fathers to them. They have to look for a way out of this menace before they all get wiped off. 

But how do you escape the wild fury of Iya Suru, with time running against you?

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.
