Alright, let me tell you something. 
Just because I have done something bad doesn't mean you can lock me up for the rest of my long, complicated, horrific life. 
What I did was punishment enough. You don't need to rip my guts out and give me disease along with it. Yeah, I know what you do in there. I also know you want to do it to me, too. 
But its not like you'll be able to; I will find a way out. 
And I will run.
You just watch me.

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.
