Melissa Joan Hart is back on Lifetime with the new movie The Bad Guardian. This thriller also stars La La Anthony and Eric Pierpoint. What happens when the person you trusted to care for your parent turns out to take advantage of them?
This is a cautionary tale that all fans of the network will want to tune in.
What Is Lifetime’s The Bad Guardian About?
In this latest Lifetime movie The Bad Guardian, a daughter fights to keep her father from being taken advantage of. What happens in this new movie? According to The Futon Critic, Jason, Leigh’s father, has a serious fall. As Leigh is out of town, the court has assigned the injured senior a guardian named Janet.
Initially, things seemed to go well. Janet appears to take good care of Jason. However, things take a turn for the worse.
“Janet is legally in charge of every aspect of Jason’s life, and doesn’t waste any time placing him in a nursing home, auctioning off his house, all worldly possessions, and using the excuse that the proceeds are needed for his care.”
Alarmed, Leigh tries to find out what is happening. But, as Janet has full legal control, she prevents Leigh and other family members from seeing their father.
“In Janet’s care, Jason’s health deteriorates, to the point that he needs a life-saving treatment which Janet decides is too expensive. As the whistleblowers around Jason meet untimely ends, Leigh finds the strength to take down the guardian and the corrupt system that supports her.”
