People get anxious, sure but renting out space shouldn't have to result in fear. What starts with a lovely tenant-owner relationship, spirals out of control when a 'perfect' guest (Kristos Andrews) offers to pay a heft price in exchange for a few days of stay. In 'The Killer in My Backyard', the unwitting couple - Allyson (Brittany Underwood) and her fiance Eric (Jacob Taylor) - decide to give up their guest house only to realize their mistakes later.

Lifetime Movies Network has had an interesting roster for 2021. 'Deceitful Dating', 'The Perfect Wedding', 'Envy: A Seven Deadly Sins Story' and 'Soccer Mom Madam' are some of the titles that have had viewers on the edge of their seats. Hopefully, the network's newest production can live up to the hype.
