Back in New Orleans, 18 years after Katrina, young Isabella 'Bella' Bardeaux reconnects with a family she barely knows and dives back into a city she never forgot, one that enchants all her senses with its colors, music, mysteries, and violence.

While an altercation with a group of young white racists leaves her for dead in an old cemetery by the city's bayou, and her aunt begs the spirits of their ancestors for help, Baron Samedi refuses to dig her grave.

The case is quickly dismissed by an understaffed police force reluctant to spend more time on this "incident." No evidence, no leads. She'll be more careful next time. But the protective loas of the cemetery, witnesses to the scene, demand compensation. And the gods has nothing to do with human justice.

Written by Adeline Cast, based on an original idea by Edmond Tourriol. Translated by Matthew Redman.

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.
