Her eyes flutter open, she moves to stretch her arms but finds she can't, still partly asleep she trys rolling over, its just a dream. She can't role over, why can't she role over?, now alarmed, and awake she rapidly feels around her.She seemed to be in a box of some sort covered in cushions of satin and her head was resting gently on a pillow, when she came to the realization is was not a box but a coffin. She began to bang forcefully on the walls of her plush cage she now believed she was six feet under and no amount of struggle would ever save her. 

She immediately flashed back to her in her home, popping pills, Avastin, Oxycontin or anything she could get her hands on. Her regard for her whole life was so little and in that day she had never wanted to die more because she thought there was no pain worse than living the life she was. But now she was different, her life meant something, like it hadn't in such a long time, she needed to survive to get through this.

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.
