"Never underestimate the silent ones-those hands are rated E for everyone."

Many years ago, a girl with strange abilities was born, whose father was currently unknown. Her mother deeply loved her daughter from the moment she laid eyes on her, but she felt as if it was too dangerous to keep her. So, she put her up for adoption. The girl traveled from parent to parent, but nobody wanted her, even though her powers were not alive yet. Until one man, who was too ignorant to even remember the girl's existence at times, agreed to take her in. She finally had a permanent life. A permanent school. A permanent parent. But still, she felt empty and unwanted. The girl never talked in class, at home, or even to herself. She preferred writing down her feelings in a notebook where nobody could see them. Her life starts to feel boring-until she starts to find out about her mother, the dark abilities she passed onto her daughter, and who her father really is.

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.
