"Damon. Please let me go." I whined as he cuffed my wrists in a chain that hung from the ceiling. My bare back touched the cold cement wall behind me, I hissed in pain as the cuts started burning. 

"Hush child. You soon won't be able to feel anything." He whispered. I softly sobbed I hung there, my feet barely touching the ground. My wrists feel like they were about to rip apart. I grabbed the chains with my hands and tried holding myself up. Damon finished with the chains he stood in front of me.  

"Welcome to phase one my darling" He smirked.

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.
