In 1941 the Lender's Ridge Insane Asylum was a popular place to get treatment for mentally ill children. The procedures done in the institution were known to be top of the line scientific surgeries which "cured" patients of their personality disorders. While it was no secret that nurses and wardens in Lender's Ridge referred to the hospital as the "House of Imbeciles", no one knew what horrific events actually went on behind closed doors and the goings-on were kept a secret until the facility's eventual closing in 1956.

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.
