It's been 12 years since the bombs, 12 years of hell.

Caden Walker and his sister, Sophia Walker, are the only survivors of the Walker family, the majority killed in the atomic fireball, others from radiation, some by sickness, few by stalkers, mutated animals, other survivors looking for supplies, the rest by... unknown circumstances.

The world destroyed in a blaze of nuclear fire, followed by what seems to be an eternal winter...

Each year, when winter came, Caden and Sophia were ready for the cold winters, but for a few years now, they've noticed the world is getting colder and darker, as if it followed the hearts of survivors, and now Caden isn't ready...

He needs supplies rarely available and only available to the rich... or those that risk it all to get them.

The world was forced into this mess by dumb politicians who only cared for themselves, bickering with other corrupt officials in how the world should work, until they went to war and were beaten or beat the opponent or until they destroyed each other...

And that's how the world worked until NATO and Russia, China and other allies took it too the extreme, now few countries, in the Southern Hemisphere, survive.

Caden must deal with the consequences, and those consequences are harsh...

•A battle for survival, Caden must find his sister, save her from the incoming winter and found out what's happening...•

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.
