Countless search parties are being sent, looking for the missing countries. But yet, no one will find them for a very lengthy time. Russia and America and a few other countries have been missing - but where to?
A lot of incidents happen, as people who have last seen them say Russia tumbled down the stairs and went through the floor, and America walked through the wall. The police, such as EU, ASEAN, UN, NATO, NASA, WHO, AU, and more do not believe in such nonsense.
Will Russia and America get stuck in the BackRooms forever, get killed or transformed by and into entities, or will they all make it out together?
And will Russia and America finally stop fighting and get to know each other better during a life or death situation?

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.
