I rubbed my eyes and opened my mouth for a yawn.
I could hear sirens nearby as I tried to shake off the sleepiness.
As I made my way down the hallway I heard a low moaning...
"Mom?...." I continued down the hallway silently, when I turned the corner I sure as hell didn't see my mom. I saw what used to be my mom. She stood there breathing heavily, I noticed a large chunk of flesh missing from her forearm. Her body turned towards me as a low grumble started to form in her throat. I managed to take a few steps back before she lunged at me, I ran into the bathroom, slamming the door.

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.
