What is the plot of 'The Man in the Guest House'?

Young couple Ashley and Brandon are looking to make a little extra cash. So when they realize that their converted garage would make an ideal space to rent out they're thrilled. Off they set to find the perfect tenant and find one they do. But looks can be deceiving and as Gregory House M.D. once famously said: "Everbody lies". For Ashley and Brandon, the nightmare is just beginning as their heaven-sent tenant turns out to be born in hell.

If you're wondering why Kristen looks so familiar that's because you've probably spent much of your life either watching her or knowing someone who does. Kristen made her name on the popular soap 'One Life To Live', on which she played Starr Manning for 825 episodes. When 'One Life To Live' ended in 2012 after a 44-year run, Kristen moved (along with other members of the 'OLTL' cast and crew) to another long-running favorite -- 'General Hospital' -- where she played Kiki Jerome for over 200 episodes. 

Ignacyo Matynia

Polish-born Ignacyo started off his acting career with a number of shorts before landing his first feature role in 'Grievance Group: The Pardon'. He would go on to star in a number of TV movies like 'My Broher's Keeper', 'Christmas Makeover' and 'My Nightmare Landlord'. In 2021 he played Jaleyn Daniels in the lauded TV series 'A Good Cop' where he starred opposite Cliff LoBrutto and Taylor Karin. He also starred in the TV series 'Alliance'.   

How do I stream 'The Beach House Murders' if I don't have cable?

Well if you don't have access to cable then your best bet is to use a live TV streaming service of which there are a gazillion ranging from the excellent but uber expensive YouTube TV to some absolute scammy dross (so you need to be very careful). The consensus seems to be that if you're looking for a live TV streaming service -- that also allows you to record your shows -- that's reliable and cheap then it's Philo which will give you both the Lifetime Network (which also has all those curtain-twitching reality shows) and LMN.

If money is no object then you can opt for the aforementioned YouTube TV or opt for DirecTV's aptly named 'Ultimate Package' which will not only give you Lifetime but also 12.8 million other channels with absolutely nothing to watch. Needless to say, you can cut through all the tape and go directly to the source and sign up for the on-demand streaming service Lifetime Movie Club
