Sakura has just turned 18, creating the opportunity to do new things. One of those things she absolutely wanted was freedom. After a while of arguing for her safety with her overprotective parents, she managed to get them to give up. She was given enough money from the spare money kept up in the top cupboard to by a house to begin in. The only problem with this house was that it was 4 hours away from her parents home, which made all three of them uneasy. Not being able to afford another one, she bought the house. She thought, despite the distance from her parents, buying that house was a bargain. It was huge, to begin with, and in almost brand new condition. She was wondering why the people were so desperate to leave. She'd soon find out why. Will she leave? Will she want to leave? What made the most recent family run from this house?

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.
