In the heart of an ancient forest lies a realm veiled in perpetual darkness, where the trees stand like sentinels, whispering secrets lost to time. "Nightshade Canopy" tells the chilling tale of a secluded village surrounded by a labyrinthine forest, its canopy perpetually shrouded in an eerie mist.

As dusk falls, the forest awakens with eerie sounds-the haunting cries of unseen creatures and the rustling of branches that seem to move with a life of their own. Legends speak of the forgotten beasts lurking within the depths, creatures of nightmares with glowing eyes that pierce the darkness.

Amidst the village's dread is Malik, a young man whose inquisitive nature sets him apart. Despite the warnings echoing through the community, Malik feels an undeniable pull toward the heart of the forest, driven by an unyielding need to uncover the truth.

As Malik delves deeper into the shadows, he discovers ancient ruins and unearths long-buried secrets hinting at a malevolent force stirring within the woods. His quest for answers leads him to confront terrifying creatures, spectral whispers, and the chilling realization that some mysteries are best left undisturbed.

With time slipping away and darkness looming ever closer, Malik must navigate treacherous paths and confront his deepest fears to save his village from the encroaching darkness and the eldritch horrors dwelling within the heart of the shadowed grove. "Nightshade Canopy" is a chilling tale of bravery, sacrifice, and the unfathomable secrets that lurk within the darkest corners of the forest.

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.
