The Beacon tells (in a most uninteresting, jumbled way) the story of Bev (Kate Mulgrew) a famed painter of abstract art welcoming her son Colm back to the family cottage with his new American bride just has Bev has embarked on a full-scale renovation replacing most of her walls with glass in an odd desire to seek more privacy.Β Β Enter an old family friend and home renovator, Donal who shares a secret (but not that scandalous) past with her son to be followed by a late inclusion of a local true crime podcaster interested in the death of Bevβs ex-husband and what do you get? β We donβt get much.Β Β
