There's been a tradition in the Fields family that's been going on for many generations, and it isn't what you'd expect.
After the sudden death of Marion Fields, her niece unearths the dying tradition that she was so against. A game.
The game itself had no name, but when a woman in the family died, the live members of the family between the ages of 17 and 29 would draw a name from a hat.
The name you drew was your target. You had 12 days to kill your target.
In a sudden revival of tradition, the game is played for the first time in 120 years, but this time, it's serious, involving a deal with the Devil;
Watch as the Fields family play in the candlelight, with the blood of innocents as fuel.

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.
