She could swear that it wasn't there yesterday, not surrounded by the sheets of cobwebs in the antique cupboard. 
But there was nobody else in the house. 
There she stood, her stare fixated on the flickering candle in the cupboard, the dancing inferno eating away the splintered wood on the cupboard door. 
A strange wind blew across the empty room, sending a tremor down her spine. She did not know what to make out of the mysterious appearance of the candle. 
Something then clicked behind her, an ominous sound that almost made her jump.
The latch closed.
She was shut inside the room.

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.
