On February 15,1992 the day was strange.It wasn't supposed to be raining in southern California today but oh well, another relaxing day for me.I had the day all planned and I wake up to rain.There goes my lunch date with Carly and mall shopping with Stephanie.Around 9 pm I was tired and was going to sleep.A month ago my brother got thrown in jail for murder and is in a high security area.I have a big feeling he's gonna escape and come after me.I was the one who threw him in jail for killing my friend.I was in bed reading the last few pages of my book and heard a bang from downstairs.Now, i'm single so if someone broke into my house I have no idea who it would be.I take my metal baseball bat from the closet and start heading down the stairs.Trying to be quiet and not stepping on the step to make it squeak I looked around the corner, no one there.I check in the living room, no one there.But the weird thing is, the front doors window was smashed.I heard another bang from the kitchen and turned around.Facing me was my brother, with blood all over his hands was my mother on the floor.He started darting toward me and I jumped out of the way just in time to hit him.He fell to the ground and i'm pretty sure he was unconscious...

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.
