"You're a little different, honey. I don't know, it's probably because I haven't seen you in months, but something has changed in you." Christofer's mother reached out a hand, placing it on the boy's. On his rosy lips appeared a light, pulled smile. "Are you sure everything is fine? Do you eat enough? You get enough sleep, don't you? Here in the house I always have your old mattress if you want-"

"I'm fine, Mom," said the boy. He put his hand on his mother's, caressing her hand. His first thought was that he didn't want to make her worry - depression was already something quite worried and that she had to live with every day, other burdens on her shoulders would only get in the way. But maybe... Talking about it wasn't a bad idea. It certainly wouldn't have reassured her, but it was an argument... well, light? Not even Christopher knew. But maybe talking to his mother about the messages he was receiving lately wasn't a bad idea. Of how they were always present, every day in recent months... how they knew how to predict events in the immediate future, without ever making a mistake half a time... of how they had become insistent and, slowly, were taking place in his life. Perhaps, talking about it could be a solution...

Well, never mind, an unfaithful ex and a sad and boring town. In mind he had not had a plan, he just wanted to change air, take his life in hand ... And when he moves to Maryll, he doesn't expect that his life will be turned upside down by a series of warning messages, which are able to predict the near future and that... come from an unknown number

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.
